What if I encounter issues using the plug-in?

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 this still does not resolve the issue, you could test with another account or create a new test account on your machine prior to more elaborate solutions.
