VSM from G Force Makes Mainstage Crash

Hey guys,

I have been having all kinds of problems with Mainstage 2.0. For whatever reason, everytime I use a third party plugin, the program crashes. It also crashes whenever my computer goes to sleep. That said I recently tried to import G Force's Virtual String Machine into Mainstage Audio Units. It says on G Force's website that there are compatiblity issues with Lion, but it works great in Logic. Ever since I added VSM in my Audio Units, Mainstage will not boot up. It gives the error message below.

It's a super long message so I will leave it to the end of this post.

So my questions are:

How do I fix this so that Mainstage works again?

Is there anyway to use G Force's VSM in Mainstage?

Are the settings within Mainstage I can change to give it optimum live performance? I have changed the buffer size and that doesn't help the crashing.

Am I better off just running a Logic session live if I wanna use the sounds on my computer at a show?

Let me know when you can. Thanks!
