Subject:Lost my NR plug-in and presets

After successfully installing Forge 10 and transferring all my presets from V8 to V10, I completely uninstalled SF 8 (which was the only other version of Sound Forge that was on my machine). Then I stupidly uninstalled Noise Reduction 2.0I which was separately listed under Add/Remove programs. I figured it was no longer needed because there was a newer version installed with Sound Forge 10.

Well now the NR plug-ins listed under the tools menu in SF10 are grayed out and I can't find any way to get them back. I've tried re-installing Sound Forge 10 which does not solve the problem.

Btw, what makes this even worse is that when I reinstalled SF, I lost most of my presets which I had transferred over from V8. I'm extremely frustrated right now, especially over the fact that the uninstall of SF 10 would not retain or backup my settings and presets. What is up with that?

Installing the NR plug-in is a seperate install in the menu of SF 10 install. Go back to add/remove and make sure both Noise Reduction Plug-ins are removed from add/remove. Most lilely you will find the one SF 10 is there. When you removed the noise reduction plug-in for SP 8 it also removed the noise reduction plug-in from SF 10 but SF 10 still thinks it is there. If it is there remove it. Start the SF 10 install again and install only the noise reduction plug-in and it should work. See my post

Did you install from the CD/DVD or the download? I purchased the download only.

Thank you for your help. I did as you suggested and it worked. The NR plugs are working fine again and the only thing I can't restore are the presets which is my own fault for not backing them up in the first place! Anyway, thanks again.

Did you save any projects that used the presets you want? You can load the project and save the preset in the plug-in.

Unfortunately no, but I've already recreated most of them, so it's not a big deal.
