December 1, 2006 at 2:43 pmTry moving the OpenGL 3D plaug-in out of it’s folder…you’ll find it under after effects/plug-ins/standard/extenstions. Just move it out to your desktop and try starting again. This should clear it up. I have the same problem on my system here. We are running AE on our Avid DS and DS hogs all the open GL…at least thats thats my take on it!
Good Luck! -

December 1, 2006 at 6:09 pmIf AE is failing at OpenGL, and removing the plug-in works to fix it, there’s a good chance that the drivers for your card may be out of date. Get the latest drivers and see if that helps. If that still fails, the card just may not play well with AE.
I suppose that Avid DS could be causing an issue, but only if it’s running at the same time you launch AE, and it’s reserved the OpenGL memory. If closing Avid alone doesn’t help, in theory rebooting could help, as I can imagine that the OGL memory could be getting locked or fouled.
All in all, if you can’t get AE to run with the OpenGL plug-in, you can just leave it out. You’ll miss the acceleration features, but plenty of people live without them.
