  I can’t get AE 6.5 to start up, I get:

  After Effects error: creating ADM floater

  I re-booted my Mac G5 andI re-installed AE, still a no go.
  Anyone know what this is?

  Thanks

  Did you trash your prefs file? This usually has to do with changing the NTSC display prefs and it gets hung up there. If you don’t want to lose all your prefs you can try this: drag your current pref file to the desktop and fire up AE. Quit. Then open up both prefs files (in a text editing program) and search for “[“MacOS Video Preview Pref Section”] in both. If there is a difference copy the section to your existing prefs file (the on causing your Floater) and replace the newer version with your modified orginal. Its worked for me in the past.
