FF3 Internal Error???

So I recently had to reinstall all of my software due to an OS problem. As I'm reinstalling my filters from the FF website I suddenly happen upon HAL9000 (which may be a coincidence lol) and the program crashes on me.

Internal Error
<XFW::Exception> Application encountered an unrecoverable critical error and will be terminated.

Now I can't even open it without having an issue.

Fair enough.

It was a dark and stormy night...LOL sorry bit of levity.

Actually it was a rather peaceful night and kind of dry for this time of year. Regardless I was installing filters fr om the website. I'm using Filter Forge 3 and the filter I was in the process of downloading was HAL9000.

There was no previous part of the error the program froze and showed me that error. When I pressed the Generate Bug Report, I got this next bit:

Support suggested I remove the Library folder but that didn't help me either. So I tried reinstalling the entire program and still get the same error. Even after a new installation. I think there is another bit to delete that I'm not seeing.

Am I missing anything? OH! I'm running on MAC OSX 10.9 Maverick. I'm working on a Macbook Pro fully loaded.

Cheers mates!

PS. Yes everytime the program opens I get the exact same message as if I'm still trying to install the filter.

Could you outline where those all might be. I got the same recommendation from Support and deleted the "Library" folder located in "Applications/Filter Forge 3/Resources/System/Library" and when I restarted the program it was as if I had done nothing.

Next I completely uninstalled Filter Forge 3 and reinstalled it again. When I went to open the now reinstalled program it once again did precisely the same thing showing me ALL of the filters I had downloaded recently.

Is there an Application Library other than within the Applications Folder? Maybe a system Library?

That seems to have worked. Got no filters now but I'm okay with that. I'll try downloading some and seeing if it works.

Yes it is indeed working properly. THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting up with my silliness and helping a brutha out! It's much appreciated.
