Thanks, Frank B for the comment.

I did move the VST folder out of RB and into Programs (x86). When I opened a song I had been working on, all the FX I had been using were missing from the tracks. When I tried to install the FX I had been having the problems with, I got the same message I had been getting before that the FX wasn't a VST folder - of course it is, and it's also a 32bit file.

When I moved the VST folder back to RB where it has been for nearly a year, I could once again install the new FX in question.

So I'm wondering why not have a VST folder with FXs in Real Band? I have had trouble before loading other VST 32bit FXs from other file folder locations, but been successful when the FXs were in the RB VST folder.

I should have asked support my "why not" question, but didn't, and was hoping someone on this forum would know.

Regards and best wishes,
Ray
