Dear Edith,

This is a common error that may occur when you open After Effects for the first time after you install Magic Bullet Looks.

First of all check this compatibility Table: Make sure that you have downloaded the correct product and product version.

You can try to re-install Magic Bullet Looks again properly please make sure to follow the next steps:

1. Disable Any antivirus software.

2. Right-Click on the Red Giant installer.exe and select Properties.

3. Click on "Compatibility".

4. Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility for:" and Choose Windows XP (Service Pack 2) and press OK.

5. Right-Click on the installer again and choose Run as administrator.

6. If you got a Security warning dialog, choose Run.

7. After installation is complete. Run After Effects as administrator.

If the problem still not fixed try to do the following:

1. Close all programs and disable Antivirus software.

2. Disconnect from any network.

3. Open Regedit (form start menu > run > type regedit > press Enter).

4. Navigate to the following path HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareRed Giant Software[product][host].

5. Right+click on "serial" and select "Modify".

6. Enter your serial number without spaces or dashes into the "Value data" field.
