I've been on some forums where people are complaining about AE shutting down during rendering. Error with QT32 - I found that if you just downgrade from Internet Explorer 9 to 8 it would fix the problem.

I hate to see anyone go but we must say farewell to Anil Mohammed (the intern)
Anil is off to work for NASA (JSC) for 15 weeks, starting January 15th, he will put his Univ. of Ill. Urbana Aeronautical Engineering studies to some really cool use - he mentioned he was going to help them build inflatable
rafts for astronauts - i'll be honest I spaced
out as he was telling me what project he will
be working on (ha ha - get the pun, SPACED out)
He will be missed, but this gives him
a chance to tell all of his new NASA buddies about what cool things he did for us and maybe we can get a
chance to animate out some inflatable space rafts for them :)
Good Luck to you Anil, and hope to see you in Mars someday
Anil, by the way, we still have the video of you Hula Dancing at Joe's Crab Shack and will continue to send it in our Birthday E-Greetings to customers.
Why wait to get the E-Greeting... Here is the video for you amusement!
