But, its a DELL PRECISION T7400 XP 32 BIT (unfortunately the comp. i work for wont allow more than that as of now) and as I mentioned previously AE CS4 version.

try unistalling anything like that. if you don’t have the uninstallers for that software, uninstall ae, then reinstall. that way you’ll be pretty sure that there aren’t any thirdparty items screwing with ae.

April 25, 2010 at 12:00 pmI Have the same problem, just installed AE CS4 from the production premium bundle, and now EVERY time I start the program, a small progress bar pops up saying “installing additional file formats and effects”, then fails, everytime!
Now, all the 3rd party plugins (Keylight, CC, Color Finesse) are missing, it must be trying to install those!

August 29, 2011 at 12:02 pmI’m also having this problem with AE CS5 from the production suite. when I start AE it wants to install effects, then it wants to restart so the effects are available but on restart it tries to reinstall the plug-ins again.
Windows 7
i5 650
4gb ram
radeon X1900This isn’t really the PC I use to work with AE but I like to be able to open AE and make changes should I need to.
No 3rd party plugins have been installed as far as I know.
Is the only fix for this to reinstall AE?
