it would seem that everytime i install directx plug-ins (namely waves) i get to use CEP 2.1 a couple of times until it locks up. when i start the program, it gets to the "building layout" part of the startup, then gives me an error everytime! this only seems to happen when i've installed my plug-in bundles. someone help!
If these are older Waves plugins, I do seem to recall that there were a few issues with CEP2 - I think that Waves have fixed them, though, in the newer releases.
