Adobe After Effects help!

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum… but im desperate :frowning: i have previously used after effects before but i havent for about 6 months. i have a copy of 5.5 and 6 and when i import audio in it will either freeze, import in and when i try ram preview it will freeze and come up with a “error log has been created please restart the program” i have tried to convert the mp3 to wav this did not work… i also tried converting it to .aiff as someone suggested but it said that it does not support this file! (ive got quicktime installed so i am not sure why) ive tried everything… ive also got a gig of ram and i jus recently got a whole new machine so its brand spanking new! i also tried without my firewall on and antivirus to no avail… really really puzzled at the moment :frowning:

If anyone has any SUGGESTIONS or anything! that i could try that would b really really super!
