Where is your scratch disk set? If you are working on a large file you will need more space allocated. This is because Photoshop holds a heck of a lot stuff in memory (history,undo, current modification...) all this adds up and when you try to apply a memory intensive filter/plugin it may cause PS to "crap-out". Look at the lower left "status bar" area and set this to view Scratch size. This will show the amount of RAM currently available to PS. You can also check the Efficiency (this will show the percentage of RAM being used).

Give it a look-see before applying the plugin and see if this is whats causing the CO (crap-out;))

You may want to de-frag' your drive too, makes it easier on the PS scratch disk...
