it's horrible how often this problem comes up.

the problem is, 5.0.1 was not universal binary so all your plugs and live were running under rosetta, now that you're running 5.2 (universal binary version) you cannot run any plugs unless they are also universal.

no intel kids know this apparently.

doesn't sound very universal to me. I'm still trying to figure out the "universal" part.

If your fave plugs are from smaller developers, try contacting them and asking if they're planning Universal Binary versions. Also check the KVR forum, there's a list of available plugs there that will work on MacIntel

don't get mad dude, blame yourself for not reading the 6 billion posts about this exact same thing.

I understand it sucks but before you go out and spend 3 grand I'd sudjest reading about it.
