Have you tried disabling OpenGL?

To disable OpenGL for rendering previews, choose Edit > Preferences > Previews (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Previews (Mac OS), and deselect Enable OpenGL.

Does the behavior occur with other effects as well? Also please provide some info about your graphics card and operating system...

I get this same error too.

I have isolated this problem to OpenGL, but thats for my video card it maybe different for you.

As said before if you resize any layer by using it's control handles it will crash AE CS4 but only when I have OpenGL on.

I have a nvidia Gforce 9800GTX+ which is listed as a supported video card and in AE preferences -> previews -> OpenGL info AE states that All the listed Capabilites are supported. I have the newest video drivers also.

This really sucks because I just spent alot of money on a big upgrade because Adobe list this videocard as being supported. What a let down.

As for calling support I just spent over 30 minutes waiting on hold just to get hung up on. I hate calling India.

What effects do you use? Sounds like you are using an accelerated effect and this conflicts with the composition window OpenGL drawing. could you try to set the "Accelerate effects using..." option in your prefs to software, but leave the rest of OpenGL on and see if this works?
