Geez... Where are my VSTs?

Howdy-

One of my coworkers recently upgraded to Live 5 (from Live 2!). He was pretty excited about it, with good reason. But he was having trouble making Live recognize his VSTs. I have never had any trouble with this myself, every instrument I ever loaded into my computers just showed up in Live's browser without any of my assistance.

Welp, wouldn't you know it, next thing you I'm having the same trouble myself. I recently updated my G5 to Tiger. Last night I loaded Pro Tools 7 and Reaktor 5. Loaded up Live and lo and behold the only VST in my quivver is Reaktor 5.

So I went to the preferences and scanned for plug-ins... it didn't find any. So I clicked on the next button there to locate them myself. I did this and found Absynth, clicked on that, and then the name Absynth appeared in the preferences screen, but not in my VST folder in my Live browser.

I didn't spend very much time on this but I'm wondering if you guys can suggest something my buddy and I can try later on tonight.

Thanks

I'll have another chance to work on my computer tonight and try to sort this out myself.

Kinda suprised no one replied to my post.

Try unselecting your VST folder and closing Live. Now, reopen Live and select your custom folder again, and then rescan.
