After Effects quits unexpectedly on launch; GPU Manager Error

Question

Hello,
     I've been searching the forums and haven't found an answer yet to my issue, although i have found some similar problems on older AE versions and older Mac versions. 
Here's the symptom:
AE crashes every time I launch it.  It used to work fine on Mavericks, which I recently updated to.  It generates this error on launching (I'll post the Apple report at the bottom of the message):
After Effects Alert:
Last log message was: <4487951120> <GPUManager> <2> Sniffer Result Code: 3
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes
When I launched AE the first time that this happened, it asked if I wanted to sync settings (I also use CC at work on a different machine), to which I said yes.  I doubt that this caused the issue, but I figured I'd mention it.
System specs:
Mac OS 10.9.2 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, 16GBs RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB GPU. 
After Effects version 12.2
I have tried booting AE while in Safe Mode; I've tried erasing the preferences, and I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the program.  No luck. 
The other thread I've found here suggests editing a kext file.  To me, this seems like a dangerous solution that I would like to avoid, since I don't know the reprocussions of doing it.
There is an added oddity to this, however--when I updated to Mavericks, it added a CUDA driver to my system preferences, and had me install an update to it.  I feel that this is related to the problem, since I don't have an nVidia card installed.
Any and all thoughts are apprecaited, thanks for reviewing my issue.  Below I've pasted my Apple Problem Report.

Thanks Todd,
  Removing the CUDA drivers took care of the issue.  I must have installed it some time ago and forgotten about.  Poor choice. 
   Works like a charm, now!
