before trying a re-install, try rebuilding the preference file.

quit ae, then restart it while holding ctrl+alt+shift, which should then give you a warning/prompt to ask if it's ok to overwrite or restore all preference settings... choose ok.

you could also try removing the entire after effects preference folder... it should be located with other software preferences -- sorry i'm not familiar enough with windows or vista to get you there, but it will be in a folder path similar to adobe/after effects/8.0 (8.0 is the after effects version number for cs3).

you can remove that entire '8.0' folder and ae will recreate all files in it the next time you restart ae.
