I've been bashing my head against this issue for a while as well: OSX 10.6.8 - Xeon Quad - 10Gb RAM - Kernal booting 32-bit. I had tried all solutions I could find on all Adobe forum threads includuing, delete prefs, disable firewall, new user account, permission, re-install CS5, re-install OSX (which worked for a short period - before I set everything up again). I've tracked the issue down on my box to a conflict with a 3rd party application "Advanced Web Ranking" - Verison 8.9 at time of writing. This has 3 processes running for scheduled tasks - awrserver, awsscheduler and awswork I killed all 3 before loading After Effects CS5 and it worked instantly both Adobe QT32 Server and dynamiclinkmanager started without issue. EDIT: Further investigation shows its only awrserver that causes the isssue, the other two can run without a problem. EDIT2: There is a server config for AWR which lets you change port it uses, default is 7777 - once my scheduled tasks are back to normal tomorrow I will try experimenting see if changing to 7778 fixes the conflict. My symtoms where QuickTime not installed and You have at least one output module template that refeers to a missing output plug-in error. Neither Adobe QT32 Server nor dynamiclinkmanager processes were running which will be the reson for the errors. I've also contacted the people who make the software to let them know of the conflict (I'm going to be running on a different box for now). Message was edited by: patrick@m4
