    Ok so i wait 2 hours to download the trial so i can test it out on my video i have to make for a school project. No one in my class knows what adobe after effects is so i really want to impress them.So i click the .exe file and it starts installing and the system combatibility check comes up. i watch while drinking a soda as it gets near the end and the after effects thing pops up. but WAIT! my system check thing stop right near the end and a page pops up saying “this computer does not fulfill the requirements” it then shows me below what i need and it says i need “PowerPC architecture CPU” so i spend hours upon hours searching this and how i can update it. i spend 6 hours updating on the windows site downloading everything and i try again. NOPE! so i download adobe air, acrobat and flash up the the newest versions. i try again to install and BAM no. im going on a trip tomorrow and well leave at five am and i would really like to spend some time not tryint to figure this out. just for info that you may need i have a windows xp home edition with all the requirements. well i dont know about the card. so my chip is a VIA/S3G unichrome IPG. Please help.

    the problem there is that you don’t have a video card you have a chipset

    Adobe says that After Effects CS3 still supports Power PC chips, but CS4 doesn’t.
