Hey RJ?...

I also have the entire suite of filters (only because i did that review thing for them).

I'd like to try and help you if i can. Trust me though... i've been through every filter in the set, and they do all work just fine. I'm suspecting that your document/layer setup is off somewhere. And that's why they don't get applied.

Can you please start me off by describing exactly which filters you're having problems with, and how specifically you've setup your layer/image before attempting to apply the filter to it?

I'm pretty sure there's a simply reason why you're having problems with them. Did the suite install ok for you? No glitches in the installation procedures?
Have you gone to their site and gotten the latest upDate patches?
