    I have After Effects CS3 (Master Suite) with more than the recommended requirements to run, but it takes a long time to load the program and, once it is completely opened, after a minute or so, it becomes unresponsive and I have to CTRL/ALT/DEL to force it to close. Any ideas?

    Try trashing your preferences on startup by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift while AE is starting up. I’ve seen that fix several a crash.
    It’s possibly something with the way the discs are set up that changed somehow.
