@Jazzmandan,

I actually did download and run the stuff from this link as recommended:

http://www.acoustica.com/plugins/vst-directx.htm

The thing was that after the install box closed (it was successful) I had no idea where anything actually went. I manually searched my programs listing and couldn't find anything. (I guess I could have done the search of my hard drive with the Window search but I didn't). Finally I went into the Add or Remove Programs and deleted Acoustica. Obviously SOMETHING was installed but it disappeared.

Well, I just tried TWO more times and, again, NOTHING! But thisd time when I went into my "Add or Remove Programs" it didn't even have Acoustica listed! Gone. =( I tried again with the same result. NOTHING! Screw it.

Anyhow, what I'd like to have is a specific folder marked "VST Plugins". So, wondering, If I go elsewhere to get some plugins will they ask which folder I want them to go into or do they go wherever they feel like going and, more than likely, disappear.
