  I would love to use AE6 for now but I got some work I have already been saving using 7 that I don’t want to start over. anyone know how I

  can solve this issue? is there a way to save to an AE6.0 file?

  We seriously need more information. Fill out your profile for starters!

  When you want us to address OpenGL issues, you could start with telling us what OS you’re on, what kind of machine, what graphics board and what drivers.

  On the short term: you can’t save to older versions of AE, but you can disable OpenGL preview by switching to adaptive resolution.

  ah ok, sorry about that, I should have mentioned it.

  I am running an AMD Athlon X2 +3800 with windowsXP pro SP2 with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 256mb PCIE driver version 81.95. Dual 21in CRT monitors and 2Gigs of Ram. I hope that helps.

  thanks for the tip about switching to adaptive resolution.
  is there a big draw back to using adaptive resolution?
