Error #-5000 and Waves

[Adam Brown]

Hey everyone. I just started having a problem with my Waves plugs - when I open ProTools (6.1.2) I now get an Error #-5000 and then my Waves plugs aren't there when it opens. I can't run the Waves Authorizer either (same error).... anyways I saw on here that someone else just 'repaired disk permissions' and another changed the owner in the Info window on something (though I don't know what). Anyways, I've tried these and rebooted - and I only have 1 user so the permissions SHOULD have been fixed I think - trashed the Waves Prefs, still didnt work and now trashed all my Waves plugs, authorizers, whatever I could find (no uninstall option - at least I cant find one), reinstalled and tried to open the authorizer - no go. Does ANYONE know what the hell I'm doing wrong? I recently re-formatted my Mac HD and re-installed all my stuff but I've done this a few times and never had this problem.. thanks for any help!!
