OK, I'm still having problems with filter forge. When I try to lock the effect I always get this error, and I even went so far as to uninstall both programs and reinstall them but that did not help. It does not matter if I lock the effect or just change the settings and apply I always get this same error and XDPX stops responding. Any ideas? I think I'll contact Filter Forge about this problem and see if they have a solution.
