AfterEffects CS5 MediaCore hang on load

i had problem after months of running ae cs5 no issues whatsoever tried start application , wouldn't load.   hung on startup screen @ "initializing mediacore".   tried clearing prefs, application support folder, codecs, , still had problems after system on while, ae not start.

 

finally traced problem down filemaker pro.   strange reason, instant web publishing uses port blocks functionality in mediacore , prevents ae starting up.   if start fmp iwp first, ae not load.   if turn off iwp, ae load fine.   if start ae first, start filemaker pro, tell cannot start iwp (hence how discovered problem).

 

in unlikely event else happens trying run both of apps on same computer @ same time, , experiencing troubles, know.

 

i imagine there other applications out there cause same kind of port conflict.  find odd mediacore requires network port function properly.  check firewalls , check internet or network enabled applications.

thanks writing in this. see document information hangs in context of firewalls:
