You are not telling us anything. No system specs, no project info, no footage info, no nothing. This is just a hollow "My car doesn't run" post. Provide some details and we may be able to help. Otherwise this is going nowhere.

Project settings don't appear to make a difference.

Um, you know how you had to allocate processors and memory in AE 10.5? Maybe you could toss us a bone here and tell us how you handled it in AE 11.

These are my settings in CS5.5, they never gave me a problem. However I've tried nearly every combination in CS6 with any success.

What error message are you getting?

Try turning Multiprocessor off.

Make sure your work area encompasses more than 1 frame.

I'm not getting an error message, RAM previews simply don't work. I press RAM preview but nothing happens.

As I said, multiprocessing OFF is the only way to RAM preview.

If you are using CS6 in the NEW Ray Tracing mode (extrusions / shadows, etc), the only way to ram preview is with multiproc OFF. It wont let you use MP.

It tells you this with a full screen text statement when you first switch into that mode from the older regualr 2.5D mode. Check it out the next time for other limitations.

I am aware of that, however my comp is in Classic 3D mode.

I'm having the same problem. It just stopped working mid-session. It was just after I'd been playing around with seeing how the image quality changed between Ray Traced and Classic, so I'm thinking maybe there is a bug there. If I start a new project, render a few frames of a test comp without MP, then switch MP back on, it works. However, if I load up the project where it originally stopped working, that doesn't work at all, no matter what I try. Might there be some sort of flag/setting in the project file that is to do with Ray Traced/Classic options that has become corrupted? I'm probably clutching at straws, but if there is a way to fix it, whether an official bug fix or tinkering around I'll give it a try to avoid re-building my project (or having to wait for long RAM previews...).
