After Effects locks-up when I try to use preference submenu

I have an issue with After Effects "freezing" or locking up when I try to use any sub-command under the "Preferences" menu. Any guidance fixing this would be greatly appreciated. I have a quad-core Intel PC with 8 gig of memory. The applications are installed on a 2 Tb drive. I don't think memory or space is an issue.
Thanks,
Vidmist

That's a weird one.  Never heard of such a thing happening before. 
You can help us eliminate a lot of things that only MIGHT be the cause and perhaps give us the clue to an accurate diagnosis by answering the questions you'll find here.

  • The front camera on my iPad locks up when I try to use it.

    The front camera on my iPad locks up when I try to use it.  The entire camera app locks up until I do a reset in settings.  I have done the manual reset as well as a restore and it still locks up.  I want to use Facetime and Skype.  How do I fix?

    If you restored the iPad to factory settings and the camera still locks up, you may have a hardware problem and it may be time to get Apple involved.
    If it was just Skyoe, I would suggest deleting the app and reinstalling, but you can't delete FaceTime.
    Can you use the camera otherwise - meaning to take photos and videos - front and back facing both work?

  • After Effects CS5 crashing when I try to make a new comp

    First it was crashing when I imported files, now I fixed that but it's crashing when I try to make a new comp (may affect other things too, that's just what I noticed). It was working fine for 3+ months until now and I haven't had anyway software or hardware changes. I recently installed a video copilot plugin, but it was working for a few days then started crashing.
    I'm running on a Core i7 950 3.07ghz, 6GB DDR3 1600 RAM, 500gb SATA harddrive, and a GTX 465 graphics card.
    It didn't give any error message, the only info I got was a windows message saying to look in my temporary app data. I looked herebut there was just a few XML files that listed my computer specs and a few AE stuff. I deleted them and it still didn't work.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Daniel

    Have you installed the After Effects CS5 (10.0.2) update? The recent updates fix a lot of problems.
    > I recently installed a video copilot plugin, but it was working for a few days then started crashing.
    Which one? There have been problems with Video Copilot plug-ins causing crashes. Make sure that you thave the most recent updates.
    Try not using that plug-in, and see if you still get crashes.
    Also make sure that your graphics card drivers are up to date.

  • Installed Yosemite and now After Effects crashed each time I try to use the effect KeyLite 1.2. I have CS5.5

    As soon as I try to add the effect to my video, I get: Adobe After Effects 10.5 quit unexpectdly.
    I tried reinstalling CS5.5 and still get the error.

    Then you need to use an operating system on which that older version is supported.
    When Apple makes major changes in each operating system that break previous applications and plug-ins, the creators of those applications and plug-ins can't go back and patch every previous version to accommodate these operating system changes.
    We have committed to supporting After Effects CS6 and later on new operating systems.

  • Since upgrading to Windows 8, Firefox locks up when I try to use it, can anyone suggest why please?

    We had to download Firefox once we had installed Windows 8. Although we now have a Firefox tile on the new Windows desktop, to enable access to Firefox, whenever we click on it to go to Firefox, we get the option to select Firefox as our default browser. Whether we say Yes or No, the screen then locks up and we have to use Control, Alt and Delete to close it.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • After erase and installing when i try to use classic it says not installrd

    I have tried to open classic in system preferences/system. It said that i do not have a version of mac os 9 installed.I have tried the imac software install and restore disk, followed the instructions. When I get to the install it says to put in the disk I am already using in. So I eject it and put it back in, and nothing happens. Just in case I have tried the hardware test disk as well, however the only file on inserting this disk is, read me first. so i am at a loss any help would be great.

    If you have an external hard disk drive, formatted for use
    with Mac OS (HFS+) you could attach even a USB 2.0
    unit to a computer and have a Classic OS9.2.2 system
    installed on there; and direct OS X system 9 preference
    to look there to find it. If you can get a copy of OS 9.2
    on such a drive, it will work adequately and that should
    also have an Applications 9 folder with it.
    Since you can drag/drop an OS 9.2.2 system (unlike X)
    an external drive installation can be done from any Mac
    with an OS 9 system folder. However, that may not be
    a correctly licensed copy (unless a backup of original)
    and from someone else's computer, it may have extra
    OS9 apps and unneeded stuff cluttering it up.
    You should be able to put the second original installer
    disc into the computer and have the OS9 Classic system
    install into your computer from there. The system is
    small and for the most part takes little room on a hard
    disk drive; be that an external or an internal one. I have
    an OS9.2.2 system and Applications-9 folder on a small
    external USB 2.0 HDD and my iBook G4 can see & use it.
    (My iBook came with the OS 9.2.2 installer on second disc
    but it was not installed on my computer; so I never put it in.)
    With a system on an external hard disk drive, you have to
    be sure it is properly unmounted and the icon representing
    it which appears on the desktop when it is mounted, is not
    there; you can 'eject' such a disk, or drag it to trash; after
    quitting whatever you were running from said disk drive. At
    some point, if it will not unmount, (as I found) you may have
    to mess around and be sure to try to quit whatever app or
    system - this may involve relaunching it again - to make sure.
    {You have to unmount the external drive before turning it off
    or unplugging it, to not damage the directory or contents on it.}
    If you install direct to the computer's own internal hard disk
    drive, and it is not partitioned, you should not worry about this.
    On first-run of System Preference's 9 Classic start, your
    system may have a dialog box saying something to the
    effect that your Classic system needs an update, and do
    you want it to do that? (not exact words) Click yes. And
    then also, when you run Disk Utility to repair your OS X
    system's 'repair disk permissions' notice under one of
    the main Disk Utility menu bars, you can Repair OS9
    Permissions. Do that, too. This can be done separate.
    Good luck & happy computing!
    edited.
    PS: There may be another source for drivers so you
    won't have to install Classic OS9 to just use a basic
    scanner. There are third-party drivers out there and
    some of them are free. Sometimes, one from a similar
    model number, at times, a few model numbers removed
    may work fine in a slightly older model scanner or printer.
    Some of the scanner drivers may cost a small fee and
    are downloaded from a site online.
    (Since Tiger is the last OS X system to support Classic,
    if you still need most of Classic beyond peripheral drivers
    weigh this before upgrade considerations to Leopard.)

    I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
    The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter.  You can try the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    The error message "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" appears when I try to use the effects in the quick editing mode in my Elements 13. The baton OK has to be pressed several times for loading all effect patterns. The error returns when selecting the particular pattern.
    The problem does not appear, if PH Elements 13 is executed in the administrator mode.
    The available computer resources are rather  large enough: CPU INTEL i7 4 cores,  16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 32GB SSD, Windows 8.1.
    Please, advice how to solve this problem? Maybe, there is patch or updating available?

    Dear n_pane,
    Thank you for the quick answer. In the meantime I found other way to pass by the problem. I increased the cache level up to the maximum value 8.
    The errors reported as "No more virtual tiles can be allocated" vanish, but I still do not understand, why PSE 13 cannot work properly by the lower cache levels, having available maximum resources it needed (10443 MB RAM and 26.53GB SSD space for scratches), or cannot collaborate with the fast SSDs properly.
    I wish you all the best in the New Year 2015!
