AE scrubber problem

This is bizarre.. not sure what happened, but suddenly in AE CS3, the timeline scrubber doesn't update the composition area as you drag it. It just sits there at freeze-frame until you drag it to a new time and let go... it's killing me here, I'm afraid I might have accidentally toggled a setting but can't find it anywhere.
Any ideas?

I recently read about this problem and how to fix it in After Effects CS3 Professional - Studio Techniques by Mark Christiansen....I go have another look and get back to you....
I had this problem for the last year at my old job...thought AE just messed up...but I got used to it.

quit, restart, see what happens then. could be a graphics card / ram error.

Yeah, did restart and shouldn't be any card/ram errors, I can render an 8k image from C4D if I wanted right now hehe..

Got it...hit the 'Live Update' button to activate it.
Live Update is on the left of draft 3d button on the composition timeline (where motion blur and frame blending preview buttons are)
Now all image updates will be present as you scrub, and not when you release the mouse.

BADASS. Thanks! Worst button ever invented.

I wish I knew that a year ago....stupid button I agree, speeds up heavy comps somewhat tho...
No probs.
