After Effects CS3 won`t import anything

Hi!

I installed After effects cs3 trial version, and when I try to import something (video, audio - anything) it freezes for a moment and then crashes with this message:

Is there an error code that comes with or after this message? Also might need some information on your system specifications - RAM, CPU in particular. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing it?

Vatrik, did you get a chance to resolve this problem?

Try this:
Right click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced tab > Performance > Settings > Data Execution Prevention. Once there click on the button for "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" add AfterFX.exe and click on apply and OK then reboot and try to open it.
