I have this problem with After Effects CS4. It crashes!

After looking at different tutorials nothing used to work. So I thought that maybe someone here at MakeUseOf can help me.

Check the link below with the problem details(the link is a photo with details):

It was all a graphics card problem! I downloaded the video driver from my computer developer official site, and now everything works fine!

Hello, you could try deleting/renaming the preferences files in After Effects.  To do so, try the following:-- open After Effects-- click on following keys ctrl+alt+shift when after effects is starting-- once you do the above, it should give you the option of deleting preference files-- restart After EffectsYou could also try navigating to After Effects folder and delete/rename the folder Prefs.  Keep in mind that it might be a hidden filehttp://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1325651&seqNum=6
