yes done that still nothing
Have a look at the link I posted above
No idea whats going on here tried everything i can think of still no joy
Is it something to do with profiles?
Have you the plugin folder on the Admin? and you are on guest or whatever?
Just guessing
Maybe permissions on the folder. Can you browse to it in the file browser on the left?
Are you using Windows 7 64 bit?
Most plugins get installed in the 32bit directory for windows.
Check to make sure that you are not scanning for VSTs in the 64bit folder.
If you are you wont see anything!
