Thanks John for your reply. To be honest I like the sounds of the vsc dxi the best and I have tried the others thats why I went with a 32 bit windows so as I could continue to use it. Even though I select a synth other than the vsc I still get the same error message in 2011.5. Just trying to deal with those error messages now or else I will just have to go back to my 2011 which had no error messages.

thanks very much.
