    The solution is in disk permissions

    If you are a PC user it may be different (run as administrator type of thing) but for mac this is it:

    Dynamic link media error

    o fix the permission:

    - Hold down the Alt (Option) key when using the Go menu. The user library folder is now listed below the current user's home directory. Click and open the library folder.

    - Select the Preferences folder. Press command-I to get Info. Expand sharing and permssions at the bottom of the Get Info dialog. Select your user name, the one with (me) after it and make sure Read & Write privileges are set, not Read Only.

    - If that folder is ok move down to the Adobe folder in Preferences and do the same check.

    - If that folder is ok move down to the Plugins folder in the Adobe folder and do the same check. I suspect this is the bad one.

    All of my permissions are correct. Any other options?

    Without exact system info nobody can tel lyou much. Start by making sure that external tools like virus scanners aren't blocking anything.
