Problem setting up mxm materials in SU

When I click on the "Browse for MXM file" in SketchUp the Maxwell material editor opens but it locks SketchUp forcing me to shut the program down.
I have no problem browsing the gallery or send to render directly from SketchUp but cannot put on any Maxwel material..
I have the latest 2.1.12 version.
Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

What happens if, after clicking 'Browse for MXM File', you either close MXED, or double-click on an MXM inside the browser? Control returns to SketchUp, correct?

That's how it's supposed to work -- if you select (i.e. double-click) an MXM in the MXED browser, a new SketchUp material will be added into the SketchUp document. If you close MXED, then nothing will happen.
