Hi. I have a problem. AE crashes at launch and an error message pops out saying:

After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was: <2260> <AppsDirs> <5> Required Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5\Support Files\Required

then when i click OK, another message follows saying:

After Effects can't continue: sorry, After Effects has crashed. See http://www.adobe.com/support/products/aftereffects.html for known issues. If you still can't resolve this issue, please contact Adobe Technical Support (2).

What's wrong with it?
It was just working fine last night.
I really need help because I have a project that has to be submitted on Monday.
You're help will much be appreciated.

Hi.
AE is working fine now. I tried opening it as administrator and it's a miracle that it worked.
But thanks for the reply. Yes, i already checked C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5\Support Files\ and i didn't see anything wrong there.

Thanks again.
