After doing some experimentation, I have confirmed that on my computer my PowerTracksDirectX Plugins location is at c:\programfiles\PowerTracksDirectX Plugins and I can see the plugin presets in that folder. There's a long list of files in there with most starting with PG and have the names of the effects. However, since I had installed my 2022 version of BIAB / Realband on my F:\ drive years ago I also have a f:\PowerTracksDirectX Plugins folder with the same presets. That folder has the date that I installed my 2022 version.

I also checked my registry with regedit. The registry does not contain the plugins - it only points to where the plugins are installed on whatever hard drive(s) you might have. In my case I found both c:\ and f:\ PowerTracksDirectX Plugins listed. To muddy things up a bit, my 2026 version of BIAB / Realband is on my I drive and there is no PowerTracksDirectX Plugins folder anywhere on my I drive, so my presets are probably all directed to the PowerTracksDirectX Plugins on my C:\programfiles folder.

So the bottom line is if you have several hard drives, you might want to see where the registry is pointing to your PowerTracksDirectX Plugins folder and check that folder to see if the presets are there.

-goto regedit (Win R type in regedit) > then be sure "computer" is highlighted at the upper left of the tree right above the words HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
-goto Edit>find type in pgmusic in the find what box then press 'find next'
-you'll stop at several windows as the search progresses and press F3 to find next until you see PG_DX_Plugins_64_is1 in left column
-look in the right window at InstallLocation
-lookin right window for location of PowerTracksDirectX Plugins
-that is the hard drive location where your presets should reside
-keep pressing F3 until done to see if your PowerTracksDirectX Plugins location is listed under another hard drive if you have more than c:\ drive on your computer
-goto the location of your presets on your hard drive(s) and see if the list of preset files are there.

That should tell you if you indeed have the presets installed on your computer or not. After that it's just a matter of copying the presets from wherever they are on whatever hard drive they are on into the location where the registry is pointing to and then trying that for success, or reinstalling BIAB / Realband and repeating the search above to see if you have success.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND MAKING ANY CHANGES IN THE REGISTRY. YOU ARE ONLY LOOKING, NOT TOUCHING - ONLY USE "FIND" AND THEN THE F3 KEY.....
