After Effects error when trying to create extruded vector shapes

Hi,
This is due to CUDA driver conflicts with ATI/AMD graphic card. This card doesn’t have CUDA features like the Nvidia Cards. Try uninstalling CUDA software. It’s the bug with AE program, which will be fixed in subsequent updates. Keep all the software and drivers upgraded to new versions.

The below mentioned are the locations of CUDA files, remove all of them manually:

/System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext
/Library/Frameworks/CUDA.framework
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nvidia.CUDASoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/PreferencePanes/CUDA/Preferences.prefPane
/System/Library/StartupItems/CUDA/

Adobe has listed their recommended supported graphics cards for AE CS6.
