d_lanzius Posts: 6	I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the FF plugin for photoshop and it used to work just fine. It's not working at all now regarding downloading new filters. I've contacted support with no response yet so I'll post here. This is the error I'm getting: <class XFW::OSCallError> ::CreateFileW(error opening named pipe) failed with error code 0x00000005: Access is denied. Running Win7 64bit and photoshop cs4 extended 32 bit with the filter installed just fine but unable to download filters from the website and the filter I need isn't in the obsolete library browser. I really need this for a project for my job and it's put me WAY behind! please help!

I have not seen this error before and is not in the forum either, so I do not know, you can wait until GMM comes later

(lol that looks like ffs...anyway oO) um, yeah don't know what fixed it but i'm very happy it's working
