The best solution for this is go in C drive> program file > adobe > after effects >plugins >AE_opengl drag AE_openGL on desktop. i tried everything nothing worked for me but this did . Mine after effects ran properly and never had a problem since then……

Ok so anyone with AE cs4 on XP. (9.0).

You need to go to your control panel and repair “QuickTime”

After that, it SHOULD work, if not, delete the workspace crap with the instructions above. Hope I helped.

for CS4+Win:

Go to Quicktime Uninstaller:
-> Click on Repair.

That did the trick for me.

Hi everyone! MY SOLUTION FOR AFTER EFFECTS CS4:
Delete quicktime! For some reason this works i never really used it anyway but maybe i’ll find a way to get it back and keep after effects.

Thanks, it worked for users of Windows 7 64 bit to remove all of the folders C: \ Users \ User name \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ After Effects \ 8.0 \ ModifiedWorkspaces

i tried everything you said and all didn’t work, my after effects closes when i launch it after i installed quicktime. then after i unistalled quicktime it worked again. anybody knows how to install quicktime without affecting after effects?somehow it might have a relation on extesion files, such as the .MOV importing.
