I can no longer start AE from my Desktop .. I must do it via Remote Desktop!!
ANy advice?
When I start AE directly on my desktop it bombs out.
It is fine if I start it on from my Laptop via Remote Desktop. I can then go back to the Desktop and then work on it directly.
Wierd .. any advice?

Have you tried renaming your preferences file? (I prefer to do that than delete it–renaming has the same effect, but if it doesn’t help then I can rename it back and not lose it.)

Thanks for your response .. apologies for my lackk of technical knowledge… what “Prefernece” file and where will I find it?
Why would this affect access to AE direct from the Desktop but not via Remote Desktop?

When an application is exited, it saves a preference file that records user preferences and such things as recently opened files, window layout when app was closed, etc. Sometimes this file can get corrupted which results in strange and unpredictable behavior.
Where it resides depends on the AE version and operating system you are using. It’s different for OSX and Windows and for 6.5 and 7.
You can do a search for a file that includes PREFS as part of its name.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything with PREFS and AE associations.
I guess I am doomed to use the RD to start the pgm. I have tried re-installing the app without success.
Thanks for your help
