Are you sure you have VSTs installed and working?
You've chosen the proper directory in the Live preferences?

What VSTs do you have?
What directory are they in?

I've managed to assemble a huge number of VSTs over the last couple of years - when I tried to use them in Live scanning my VST folder crashed Live every time.

I just picked a few good ones and copied those to my Ableton Folder. I scanned from there with no problem.

Incidentally - can you arrange your VSTs into sub folders like you can in Cubase?

Just create a C:\vst or whatever. It can be anywhere.
If you stick stuff under Ableton's folders you always run the risk of them screwing up and deleting your stuff when you update.
