Perhaps you're using a custom layout by accident?

Well, suprisingly enough the problem is fixed. Got home today ready to.tackle this head on, open up x3, and boom, there are all my plug ins. Very strange, as I started x3 over 10 times last night and nothing. Now I open it the first time today and everything is there. Crazy

We fixed it remotely while you were away. 

Yeah, restarting 10 times is not enough.  Restarts go to 11....

Ha! Lol. Now that I got that fixed, I have realized another issue. I have no loops or oneshots. The folders are there but everything is empty. I wonder if wiping everything and doing a clean install may yield better results. I had x1 studio and x2 producer on the machine already when I installed x3. Could that be causing these problems?

Lots of folks keep multiple versions of Sonar on their systems at the same time, so that's not the issue.

"Loops and One Shots" is a separate download. X3 would pick up the Preferences > File > Folder Locations from X2 Producer and install the "Loops and One Shots" in the "Wave Files" location.

Where do I find the download for the loops and oneshots then?

The "Loops and One Shots" are in your store account along with the rest of the X3 files. Reference the Download Instructions . At the bottom of the instructions are links to the lists of files included with each version of X3. The "Loops and One Shots" package is the same as the one included with X2 Producer.
 

Thank you. Got the loops and one shots problem resolved. Now I am back to the plug in problem. Finally all my plug ins show up so I decided to go ahead and install trilian. Once again, x3 scans it but it doesnt appear in my browser. Im at a loss. I guess I will just restart 10 more times and hope tomorrow it appears. Lol. I will be glad once I get this all set up and can focus on using it.
