Jsut because I'd like to know. Why would there be as many as 4 AE refrences in my task manager? Thanks

Do you have multiprocessing enabled?

Yes I do...only dual core though.

And if you disable multi-processing, how many instances are visible?

An older P4 processor with Hyperthreading? Some type of AMD chip? Surely something that makes AE think that there are more cores/ processors available...

On a Core II quad processor, I had the same behavior. Task Manager showed five instances of After Effects running and they were using more than a Gig of memory total. I unchecked the box for rendering multiple frames simultaneously in Preferences -> Memory & Multiprocessing and it now opens a single instance. With that box checked, I could only Ram Preview about eight seconds at full res. With it unchecked, it renders a little slower but I can Ram Preview much longer comps. Until Adobe comes up with a more efficient way to utilize multicore processors, I'd suggest that you leave that box unchecked.
