After Effects CS6 Not Starting?

Hello,
I have hard drive issues, usually resulting in corruption or deletion of Windows dll's. Each time I run a chkdsk /f in my command prompt, it fixes the disk issues, but manages to delete a dll from one of my Adobe CS6 Production Premium Softwares. Last time, it was a dll from Premiere Pro. Now, it's from After Effects. It lost the boost_threads.dll file, which I replaced, but now the program will not start with error message 0xc000007b. Simply replacing the dll working in fixing Premiere Pro, but it won't do the same in AE...
Any ideas on what could be causing this and some fixes?
Thanks in advance,
Jack Reynolds
Windows 8.1, Fully Updated. After Effects CS6.

If it gives you a splash screen at all while it's starting, you should be able to see the version number.

That's the link to the update file for AE. You could try running it to see if it works.

It came as a package for the Production Premium CS6, so to reinstall it, I would have to reinstall the whole suite, which isn't going to work entirely well...
Why not? People uninstall the whole suite and reinstall it all the time to fix issues such as the one you mention.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 not loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.pr and ImporterQuickTimeHost.pr

    Hi,
    Adobe After Effects CS6 not loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.pr and ImporterQuickTimeHost.pr.
    We have tried disabling the windows firewall and turning off our Antivirus but it makes no difference.
    The program launches with the quicktime plug-inns perfectly when ran as local administrator but will not work as any other user.
    Other users do not have local admin rights, only write access to their profile path and the C:/temp folder.
    Any help and assitance would be appreciated.
    Is there a directory that the users need access to on the C drive?
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    I have updated to 11.0.4 and the issue still persists.
    Could someone please advise.
    Much appreciated

    Where can I get the After Effects CS6 (not CS3) user's guide. I want Adobe's, not a third party.

    Todd,
    Thanks a ton. I've done searches from search engines, and I've looked at this page many times, but I had not seen this link.
    I really apprreciate your help--though you probably think it was a dumb question.

  • After Effects CS6 not working on yosemite

    I upgraded my MAC OS from Mavericks to Yosemite and After Effects suddenly does not work. It says that the version cannot be used in the current OS X version. I have searched and did all the suggested solution available on the internet. I have reinstalled and installed after effects CS 6 and downloaded the updates (11.0.4). But it says that the update is not applicable for the product. What is odd though, the other CS6 programs are working properly other than After Effects. What should I do? any help??

    Try fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
    Then try updating within another Adobe app.

  • After Effects cc not starting due to optix.1.dll error or not designed for Windows

    Hi support team,
                           I cannot open after effects cc due to a problem with a optix.1.dll error . Attached is a sreen shot. I suspect is the nvidia video card that has problems.
    Anyone one has the same problems? Any solutions for this? Thank you.
    Regards,
    Elias Lo

    Hi Todd,
               Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve it by reinstalling the After Effects CC. This error occurred when I haven't updated my laptop , especially the video card updates. Therefore , optix.1.dll is only 0kb as a file , in the support file for AE cc.
                  I hate the GeForce experience by Nvidia. One of its updates caused Windows to prevent starting. I have to reinstall Windows and reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud, hence the issue. Thanks Todd , will always be an Adobe supporter.
    Regards,
    Elias Lo

  • After Effects CS3 Not Starting

    I installed After Effects CS3 on my mac running snow leopard 10.6.4 I also installed the update for After Effects. However it will not run, everything is activated and Adobe says the activation is fine. However the discontinued phone support for CS3. What happens is the program will launch and show up in the dock but before the splash screen even launches the software will just crash and shut down. I seem to remember this was an issue when i installed this on my desktop but for the life of me I cannot remember what I did to fix the issue.

    Here's a page that gives some information about issues with After Effects CS3 and CS4 on Snow Leopard:

  • CC will not allow After Effects CS6 to Update

    I am a frequent After Effects CS6 user; not so long ago I started a subsciption with Adobe Creative Cloud and I've had nothing but issues with it.
    The CC desktop would crash my whole system on launch, so I cancelled my subsciption and uninstalled anything related to CC cause I saw no real benefit.
    But the CC apps remained on the system no matter what I tried to remove them.
    Now my Premiere Pro CS6 is unable to open, and After Effects CS6 is unable to update.

    I used that link already. I believe my old cc subscription is blocking. It states 'updates have been suppressed by the administrator'. After effects crashing after ram previewing. CC was removed after it crashed my desktop a few months ago. I have CS5 & cs6 which I paid for installed but I cant get into premiere pro because cc hijacks it. Cc was removed uninstalled because My system desktop wouldnt load so I discontinued my subscriptupm but it has interferred with my ability to use tge CS6 programs!
    I have not been able to get any support and now I cant even edit a 2 minute short film which is due tomorrow.

  • Adobe After Effects CS6 keeps crashing before it even starts

    So like a year ago I purchased adobe after effects. I used it almost every day till about 2 months ago till I started using another video editing program. So for 2 months I did not open AE. Today I felt like using it because I felt it would do a better job that sony vegas so I tried to open it. It brought up the purple icon and it gave me an error. ''After Effects error:Crash in progress. Last logged message was (number here changes every time i do it) <dynamiclink> <5> c:/program files/adobe/adobe after effects cs6/support files/32/dynamiclinkmanger.exe.    after this messege it just automatically exits after saying it crashed. I really need it to work since my final for college depends on it. I tried to uninstall it several times with numerous programs but none work. Whats wrong? how do i fix it ? is their a file or something missing? i looked on updates on adobe bridge and it said i was up to date. In addition i manualy tried to download an update and when i tried to open the update file it would open up af and display the same messege. any suggestions welcomed. thanks

    The short version is that you either have changed your graphics setup, messed up your CoDecs, done something weird to your media cache or have permissions/ security issues or whatever. Since you failed to provide any system information we can't be any more specific.

  • Adobe after effects CS6 hangs on starting

    After Effects CS6 (PC, French trial version) needs 5-10 minutes to start up, hangs on the message "MediaCore wird initialisiert". On another PC it works fine. I did a reinstall, no effect. No plugins are installed.
    I would also like to know how these video effects in this video are done right in the begining

    See this:

    Also, make sure that you've installed all recent updates so that you're running After Effects CS6 (11.0.2), not 11.0.0:

  • Error on Start-up for After Effects CS6

    Okay, hello.
    I have Adobe After Effects CS6, and I have recently gotten this error. I have posted about this before and the only thing I get is "Re-Install the product" or "Run the Adobe Cleaner and Re-Install and Restart" All of these things I do and they do not work!
    I have also referred to the article about changing permission and this does not work either. So if someone has fixed this another way and could level with me so that I can go back to using this program. Any questions I am happy to provide the answer too.
