I opened a project from AP6 and got the fx load errors below- I got these effects from AP 4, 5, or 6- no idea where but I want to get them back- do I need to reinstall earlier versions of AP?

My guess is that they may have come from a Sonic Foundry version of ACID (version 4 was Sonic Foundry for a while). Do those FX show up in your Plug-in Manager? I just built a new Vista 64 machine and the only version of ACID that has ever been installed is ACID Pro 7 and I have all of the "Sony ExpressFX ..." showing in my plug-in manager (I also have Vegas Pro 8 and Sound Forge 9 so it is possible that one of them installed the ExpressFX too).

It's odd that one of the errors does have the name Sony in it but the others don't. You might want to contact Sony technical support and send them the project file so that they can debug it and see what's wrong. This could actually be a bug in ACID 7 if those FX show up in your plug-in manager but are not found by older ACID projects.
