    You could try deleting the preference files. Launch the app with Shift down (I think it’s Shift, otherwise try the other ones). You get a dialog asking if you want to delete prefs.

    If that doesn’t work, remove and re-install I’m afraid.

    Start AE and quickly press shift+ctrl+alt to delet the prefs. This may work.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Well, no sooner do I post than I fix my problem–maybe this will fix yours…restored my system to before I installed iTunes 6 with QuickTime 7. Did the trick. I can now save, import and everything–I just have to reinstall an earlier version of QuickTime and iTunes.
    Watch “Lost” or work on After Effects…hmmm. Think Lost is going to the laptop…
