I hate having two threads going at once... when I start my current project it takes forever and I get a message I have to clear telling me several plug-ins are associated with the project that missing... I don't know how they got assigned in the project, but I don't know how to delete the assignment or the reset it... I don't think I actually have the plug-ins and don't see them in the plug in manager. The are Rapture, Dimensions and PSYN II... any thoughts on how to clear these?

First, update to X3e, then reset AND re-scan the plug-ins...see what happens. X3a is not as developed as X3e and I highly recommended the update, it's free.

Will do, thanx

Actually, not sure how to do that... if I try to update from the program it says I'm up to date, can't find x3e on the website, and this Command Center thing tells me I have no products at all. I do show an X3b, do I have to do them one at a time?
 
Hmmm, and even that update tells it can't find the correct version on my system to upgrade.

The Command Center ist for the new Sonar Versions only.
 
Here ist X3e:

Just install the X3e update, they're recursive.
 

ok, I'll try that. They sure made an effort to make it hard to locate, if you even knew it existed. Thanks for the pointer.

Hi - I am a bit confused.  
 
Your signature indicates you are running X3a, but you seem to be using Command Center, which comes with the new release that just came out, to look for Rapture and Dim Pro, etc.
 
Can you please clarify what you have installed?
 
IF you are running X3a, you can go to the Cakewalk support by product page, and use the drop-down boxes to pick Sonar X3, and it will open a list of available updates for whatever flavor it it you have.
 
There will also be installation instructions for getting everything installed.  If you follow the instructions, you will have an installer for Sonar, and Rapture, and another for Dimension Pro, as well as its expansion packs.
 
I am also not sure why anything you have is looking for those, unless you have them specified within projects.  I have never had them 'not' installed, so if there is some weird behavior going on, I would never have experienced it.

I'm confused too, hence my original post. Okay, now I"m running X3e and I rescanned, but the message still comes up before I can load the file. The plug-ins listed in my plug-in manager are:
DirectX Audio Effects
VST Audio Effects
VST3 Audio Effects
DirectX Instruments
VST Instruments
VST3 Instruments
MIDI Effects
DirectX Media Objects
Control Surfaces
Each of those has sublistings when I select them, but none are the ones holding up my file, which again are Rapture, Dimensions and PSYN II. They do show up in the option list when I try to load a new SoftSynth track, but if I choose one I get the same message. And I don't see anything listed as available updates on my product page.

psyn 2 should have installed with x3 which is weird.  dimension and rapture are seperate packages in your cakewalk store account.  
I think you may have created a project from a different template which may have had tracks for those synths.  
anyway, for this project you can show the media browser then click on the synths tab.  it will probably show a rack for dimension rapture and psyn.  click each one and then click the red x button.  click the square which will ask delete all associated tracks.  do that for each synth and then re-save the project.  that will get you over hump #1.
