Plug-in manager not opening

  As stated in the title heading,plug- in manager won't openTotally unresponsive. 
I'm trying to get Sonar to recognize Toontrack EZ Mix2.
I've installed the 64Bit version (it's destination C:program files/cakewalk/VSTplugins where all my 64bit plug ins reside...(so the dll.file is now there)
I open Sonar,but EZmix 2 isn't showing up in the 'audio FX/VSTplug-ins64bit' drop down menu.The only thing that shows in this menu is Guitar Rig 3 LE 64 bit which is also stored in the same location as EZmix 2 ,ie: C:program files/cakewalk/VSTplugins

I'm really confused as to what the destination path for EZ Mix 2 64Bit  should be.
I've tried opening Plug-in manager to set the path there,but the bloody thing won't open!
  For what it's worth,i can't open 'manage plug-in layouts' either.

    My thoughts too. After installing a new plugin you have to trigger a VST scan of the folders in which the plugins live.

      Scan VST Folders and Reset All VST Plug-ins are both greyed out :-( 
    In the VST scan folders box,I've added the location of EZmix,but under VST Scan "scan folders" it is greyed out.

    That's not right. something's gone screwy.

    Don't know what could be causing it, but I bet there's your problem

    I've contacted technical support.
    I'm wondering whether I should reinstall Sonar?

    Lamp, what version of X1 are you on?  Plug-in manager wouldn't open for me no how, no way either until, as I recall, I installed the X1C update.  Even tho you have a different OS, etc, maybe something there?

    X1 Expanded (x1d build 535)
    I have 'scan for vst plugins on start up ' checked,and it's not even doing that.
    I've tried opening Sonar with shift held down (I read somewhere here in the archives that that might resolve the issue)but that hasn't helped.
    I think it's seriously screwed and i sense a reinstall is in order *groans*
    Tech support haven't got back to me yet.
      It's because of the 32/64/bit bridge / separate folders situation,I'm sure of it...gone funky somewhere down the line. 
    Became an issue when I installed EZMix 2 64 Bit.
    Maybe that's due punishment for resorting to Easy Mix!!!
