Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Unexpected Failure during application startup

  • Unexpected Failure during application startup

    Posted by Ben Smallzman on April 3, 2011 at 11:59 am

    When i try to open after effects, i get the warning: “Could not rename the file /Users/Username/library/preferences/adobe/after effects/10.0/workspaces.”

    When i click ok, it gives me the same message again, and then says: “After effects cant continue: unexpected failure during application startup.”

    How can i get rid of this so i can start using After Effects?

    Thanks

    Trash your preferences file. Just hold ctrl+alt+shift on a PC or command+option+shift on a mac while starting AE.
