Audition CS6 (Bootcamp Win. 7) Crashing from built in effects / plugins

Long story short:

1. I own a PC license for Production Premium CS6
2. I just bought a new computer (MacBook Pro retina 15")
3. I have (successfully) set up Win. 7 using Bootcamp on my MBP
4. I have (successfully) installed and tested my copy of Production Premium CS6
   1. everything was working okay (i.e. - previewing clips, changing amplitute, cutting), until I tried to use the built in effects / plugins on some audio in Audition
5. When I attempt to add an effect (i.e. - Noise Reduction <process>), after 2-3 sec. I get a crash notice, and my only option is to "close program". This is also occuring when other plugins are attempted
   1. no option to see an error log, etc.

My Pro. Prem. suite is literally the only thing installed on the Windows side of my MBP, and I ran Adobe update for the suite after installing. I have scoured the web looking for answers to this issue, but have had no luck yet (this includes the forums here too).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if more info is needed about my machine, etc. please let me know (this is my first forum post).

Best,
Matthew
