Cannot see FX Windows when I click on + for FX -ACID Product Family

Subject:Cannot see FX Windows when I click on + for FX Posted by: Dr. Alan Lipman Date:10/7/2007 11:22:01 AM I am a relatively new user of Acid 6.0. I have not yet mastered the various view capabilities of Acid. The current problem is that I can no longer see the FX windows which typically arise when you click the + shaped icon (next to the record button) on each track, in order to add fx, and to adjust the various parameters of VST FX. Whether I attempt to add FX either by clicking on the +, or by using the "Insert Assignable FX" from the upper menu, the window containing the VST effect (e.g. , the box for Track EQ, reverb, etc) is no longer visible. I suspect this is the result of moving the size of various windows, but no attempts to correct this--to restore the original state of the Acid screen- have resulted in being able to view the FX windows. I have tried moving the lines, all of the different options on the "view" menu, and looking for a "restore default view" option--but no luck. I'm sure there is some simple solution to this--but I don't have it! Thanks!

The problem is, it will reset everyhing, including all the little tweaks and changes you've made that you would rather keep.
