will not paste text? CS5 craziness

[Walter Soyka]

[jonas espinoza] “all of a sudden my AE CS5 machine at work has been acting funky… specifically i cant paste into the text layers – when im totally ok to paste between all other apps”

Do you have the latest update [link] installed?

[jonas espinoza] “is there a way to trash prefs in CS5?”

Yes. From the manual entry on Preferences [link]:

To restore default preference settings, hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) while the application is starting. To also restore default keyboard shortcuts, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the OK button.

Are you on pc or mac?

If you’re on a pc, that bug have been around for centuries…I think it’s something related to windows media player, only workaround is to reboot AE.
