    If your on windows and using Service Pack 2 that can cause issues. I was getting all kinds of crazy crashes and freezes with SP2. When I went back to SP1 the issues just kind of disappeared.

    Just a suggestion, someone else might have a better idea.

    Have you tried upgrading AE to 6.5.1? It’s free.

    I don’t know if it will help, though. Sorry.

    Did you uninstall Aftereffects and reinstall before you did the 6.5.1 Upgrade. You may have a preferences issue. I can’t quite remember how to change your preferences. I think you go to your local settings and just delete the preference file and then it creates a new preference file when you restart.

    But my suggestion is to uninstall Aftereffects totally then re-install AE 6.5. Then the upgrade. If you haven’t already done that.

    Otherwise I am at a lose. Sorry.

    hi i am quite certain that its a small problem because now i cant even use 6.0 pro when i try and use it. i think its something that is intermingling thats making it crash!! Any suggestions ???

    Have you tried uninstalling both, then installing them into separate directories, named for the specific version?

    I’ve never had problems with multiple versions in separate diectories.
