Hi Danna,

I run AVG free without any tweaking so I doubt that it's that that's the spanner in the works.

The fact that the vstplugins directories are not be recognised is pointing towards an administrative privileges possibility. Windows protects the "program files" directories and it seems that it's not letting Reaper in.

You could try turning off User Account Control (UAC) and see if that makes a difference. UAC is a brick wall. Windows will tell you that it is not advisable to turn this off, etc., but it would be an interesting experiment. You can always reactivate it after giving it a run. For what it's worth, I haven't had UAC on my system for at least 5 years (if not longer).

I'd love to know the results of any success if you find it. Posting it here would be very helpful for anyone else who has a similar problem.

Good luck,
Noel
