No problem...hey and for future notice, if you are ever uninstalling a version of sonar after an update, don't uninstall the shared components...or there will go your soft synths...

This one even stumped the tech support crew at Cakewalk. TO their credit, they actually spent almost 2 hours on the phone with me and we still couldn't find the soft synths. I finally resolved the issue the hard way. I uninstalled EVERYTHING!! remotely related to Cakewalk and CakeTalking. I then reinstalled Cakewalk 6.0, 6.01 and 6.2, started each of those once and then finally installed CakeTalking. And, all of my soft synths are now back. I think the problem may have been some old remnants of Sonar 4 and 5 which I found out on the drive lurking around. Think one of them could have been interfering with the VST scanning process. Anyway, all is working and thanks again Jeff.
