Unable to open after effects: error code 15

I have been searching the forums and it looks like only mac users have had this problem, I am a windows 8 pro user and every time I want to open up after effects cs6, it keeps coming up with a message simply saying:
Configuration error
Please uninstall and reinstall the product
If this problem still occurs please contct adobe technical support and mention the error code shown at the bottom of the screen

After effects error code.

upon opening After Effects i receive this crash error. "After Effects error:Crash in progress. lat logged message was: <11156> <Dynamiclink> <5> C:\Program files (x86)\Common files\adobe\dynamiclink\cs5\dynmiclinkmanager.exe"
My computer specs:
Intelcore i5
4.0 GB RAM
64-bit OS
is there any way to fix this?

Hi.
Interesting.
Ok. Firstly, It is important what is Dynamic link to solve this problem.
What is Dynamic Link?
Adobe® Dynamic Link gives you tighter-than-ever integration when moving assets between Adobe After Effects® CS5, Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5, and Encore® CS5. An integral part of Adobe Creative Suite® 5 Production Premium and Master Collection software, Dynamic Link enables you to work faster and stay in the creative flow by eliminating intermediate rendering when you make changes to assets — whether you're editing a sequence of clips in Adobe Premiere Pro, changing a composition in After Effects, or refining a project in Encore.
more -> info http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/dynamiclink/
Secondly, plz let me check your system.
1. Did you install the package of Adobe master collection or Creative Suite Production Premium, or each software separated in AE and Premiere?
2. Did you uninstall whole package about that ; if you have, including not only CS5 but also previous package or software was related with Adobe AE and Premiere like CS4, CS3?
3. Also check your any whole local folder like 10.0 folder or user application folder in document about Adobe not deleted by order "uninstall"
4. Then, after reboot, Just install only AE(or Premiere), Only one of Two! by clicking the content in the window of installing package of Adobe.
5. Does opening AE(or Premiere) is ok? -->I wholly believe it won't have any Problem. Just imagine that you got adobe software first.
6. Then, try to install the other.
7. If both AE and Premiere are that opening is good, you are able to install the others of your package.
Good luck!

Unable to open After Effects CS4 Mac OS

I just downloaded some updates via Adobe updater and the After Effects update wouldn't install after 2 attempts. Now After Effects won't even open. I am issued a window that reads:
"check with the developer to make sure Adobe After Effects CS4 works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and MAC OS X."
How can this be if nothing has been changed? I have the CS4 Master Suite and I am going to waste a whole day reinstalling everything
Is there another option or will I have to begin the reinstall?
Thanks

Apologies,
I am running version 10.6.6 and yes the software was working fine before the update. The thing that's most puzzling is the update failed to install. All the other Adobe programmes (Photoshop etc) work fine, After Effects is the only one experiencing problems.
I contacted technical support and they said to copy the file from the installation disc onto desktop and boot from there but that has not worked either. They are going to contact me tomorrow to see if everything went smoothly.
I will give the cleaner a try.
Many thanks!

Question : unable to open iTunes with error code 13010

Hi all,
I recently encounter the problem with opening the iTunes software.
While iTunes opening, it always fail and pop up a message something like "can not open iTunes (13010)" (I use non-English version iTunes).
Even I delete the iTunes database and any profile about iTunes in my computer and reinstall the iTunes, the same message still appears.
I use iPod nano. But I don't think the problem is on ipod. Because even if I did not plug ipod to computer, the iTunes still can not launch.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help
Sincerely yours,
Wei-Fan, Chiang

After Effects error: Unable to allocate space for image buffer

I am having some glitchy issues with After Effects, very inconsistent, but I am getting the error message "After Effects error: unable to Allocate Space for a 7500 x 4500 image buffer. You may be experiencing fragmentation. In the Memory and Multiprocessing Preference dialog box, trying increasing the RAM to leave for other applications, and selecting the Enable Disk Cache option in the Media & Disk Cache Panel".
Pretty straightforward, but I have a brand new 8 core dual 2.25 Mac Pro with 16GB Ram. I have it set to allow other applications to use 7GB, have jockeyed that setting between 1GB and 5GB and still gotten the same error message. Disk Cache is set to 3GB, have pushed it all the up to 7GB and still gotten the same message. I am working in 1080p, but I got the error message with Open GL on, quarter resolution, and wasn't even trying to RAM preview. I also noticed that with a straight 1080p clip .mov animation codec clip, after effects will only RAM preview about 7 seconds. That is without any other layers or effects. I do not have all of my source footage in one folder, I am going to try that next. I am running of a fast internal hard drive that is not they system drive. It also seems like it happens after I have been using the comptuer for awhile. If I restart the problem will usually go away for a little while.
I think that I may have a bigger system error, the computer locked up bad once after I had it for a few weeks and since that happened CS4 has been unstable in general, especially Photoshop and Bridge. My guess is bad RAM, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something with my AE settings. If any one has any input please let me know. Thanks.

> I lowered the minimum RAM per core to 1GB, because the Adobe site recommends that as a base setting for andHD project
When you say "the Adobe site recommends", what exactly are you referring to? If you're quoting recommendations written for After Effects on the Adobe website, you're very likely quoting me. And this is what I wrote in the Help document:
"Memory & Multiprocessing preferences":
"The amount of RAM required for each background process varies depending on your system configuration; at least 1 GB per process is recommended. Optimum performance is achieved with computer systems with at least 2 GB of installed RAM per processor core."
This blog post gives essentially the same advice, but with more explicit suggestions.
But, as I say at the bottom of that blog post, if you find that some other settings are working better for you, that's great. Every project and computer system are different. Do what works for you.
> Also, if it is an
dual quad core system, there should be 8 cores, but in the
multi-processer preferences panel it lists CPU's as 16.
The number of "virtual" processors can be double in a system that uses hyperthreading. After Effects doesn't actually treat these as separate processors in this context, though.

After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)

Hi all,
I'm new to after effects. I have just started receiving the following error every time I try to render my movie:
"After Effects error: opening movie - you do not have permission to open this file (-54)".
Yesterday morning, I was able to render movies, however, after I did Apple's latest update I've started receiving the following error. What is happening is that I'm trying to render a movie. It gets to a certain point in the movie (about 0;00;16;09) and then this error pops up. This morning I've tried to repair the permissions with disk utility, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
I've searched Google and the Adobe support forums with no luck. Please help.
Thanks in advance for you help,
William

Have been able to downgrade to QT 7.3 using Pacifist. Did NOT require re-install of OS.

Now that I am back to QT7.3, iTunes7.6 is now asking me to update QT to 7.4 in order to be able to view the new movie rental feature of the iTunes store... which sorta sheds some light on the no permission error. Now that iTunes is renting, not just selling, movies, QT is now all fussy about ownership and permissions. Just a guess.

After Effects error opening sound componant (-2166)

Hi
Im getting this error message( After Effects error-opening sound componant (-2166 )
When i go to render a comp that icludes several sound files (WAV) the render stops 80% of the time.is there a way to fix this.
Im rendering to Quicktime based on losssles or AVI based on lossless
Windows XP service pack 3
3 gigs ram
quad core
Quicktime pro latest version installed november 2009

This could happen for any of several reasons, including the sound files using sample rates or a number of channels that After Effects can't handle. After Effects is not the best at working with audio. I recommend converting the audio files to another format (such as AIFF), ensuring that the sample rate is something standard, making sure that the files are just plain old stereo, and trying again.

Error Opening After Effects CS3 - cannot load AERes1.dll

Hello,
When I try to open After effects I get this Error "cannot load AERes1.DLL"
I tried to reinstall after effects and it didnt dfix the problem.
I uninstalled the entire Master collection CS3 and reinstalled and the problem didnt solve.
I could open After Effects in the past.
Any suggestions?

OK so this is how I solved the problem if anyone encounter it ever again...
Uninstalling and reinstalling the CS3 won't help.
The problem happens probably because of quicktime installed prior to the CS3 updates. I didnt try to remove quicktime. I formatted my PC and luckly I had an image of my c: drive from the time I installed the cs3 and prior to the time I installed Quicktime. So I made all Adobe Cs3 updates first and only than installed Quicktime.
Now After Effects works.
If anyone finds a way to solve this without formatting c: drive, let me know.

After Effects Error: Unable To Allocate Space...

I have never seen this before...I am stumped.
I am on After Effects 8.0.2 on a PC at work (Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2 / Intel Xeon 3.6 Ghz / 3.25 GB RAM) and I keep getting the following error when rendering:
"After Effects Error: Unable to Allocate Space for 4290 x 4590 image buffer"
My Comp is nowhere near that size (1280 x 720) nor is anything in it (PS document 1200 x 1500 / 720p video / solids are comp size). I have reset Cache sizes until I am blue in the face / have enabled Disk Cache / dumped preferences / cursed at the machine / nothing works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.
Joey

Just thinkin; out loud, so sorry if it's stuff you've already considered, Joey:
Any scale settings expanding objects beyond the size of the comp? Text especially can blow out memory when scaled up large.
Same goes for 3D objects close to the camera.
As you're a Mac-o-file you've probably been saved in the past by the extra RAM accessible - SP will only give AE 2GB.

a project I was working on from another PC to hopefully continue working on my Computer but when I tried to open the file
I ended up with After Effects crashing.

Permission issues... try some of what is posted on this page under the respective section.
