When diagnosing plug-in errors, there are several system variables to take into consideration first before digging deeper into the code. Repairing your permissions is a good place to start, and also good practice after installing software. To do this, launch Disk Utility from the Applications under Utilities. Then select Repair and press Repair Disk Permissions. This basically cleans up your system files so that they can access each other properly. If that does not resolve the issue, you could simply restart the machine as another basic starting point. Testing in an alternate or new account could also help in determining the root of the issue. For more on what information you should send in when requesting technical support, please read through the general FAQ section or contact us.
