Ive about come to the end of my rope. Yous see I bought the IK plugins. No matter what i have set in the  preferences (where the Vsts are actually)I cant get any to show when I insert a new interment track. The cakewalk stuff works fine. Each plujgin works buy its  self but i can connect that with sonar.

make sure the plug ins are in the folder that is being scanned (See plug in manager)
if all else fails, run a reset, rescan of the plug in manager.

These are my file locations:
c:\program files\cakewalk\vstplugins\
c:\program files\vstplugins\
and
c:\program files (X86)\vstplugins\
 
i get a scan that 93 instruments are found        BUT that is not apparently good

Can you see the IK plug-in .dll files in one of those folders?  If not, you need to add that path to your plug-in manager, reset and rescan your plug-ins.

All I can do when i insert and instrument is
 
tts-1
4 front
Applied Acoustics
or
Cakelwalk
 
but thats it.
 

You need to locate the actual path to wherever those missing plugins live, and then make sure that the path to those is present (or add it) in the Cakewalk Plugin Manager VST Options Scan Paths.
 
Then it should automatically find those and make those available to Sonar.
 
I am thinking they didn't get installed to any of the folders currently in the scanning path that the Plugin Manager has at this time - so by making sure that the actual path to the actual location of those plugins gets added to Plugin Manager.

Jeremy,
Q1) you bought the old 32 bit IK synths?
Q2) you are trying to run them in Sonar x64?
You might list your entire system specs, OS, Sonar, etc
