Hello
I accidently set Acid to scan C: for VST, instead of just identifying specific VST locations.
End result: Acid crashes due to loading of all DLL's the scan finds.

Is there a registry adjustment I can make that can resolve my issue? I removed and reinstalled Acid, the application is still scanning C: drive for DLL’s again.

Thanks

There is a command line switch:

-NOVSTGROVEL (or /NOVSTGROVEL)

So create a temp desktop icon by dragging acid70.exe to the desktop from your program files folder.

Then edit the link

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\ACID Pro 7.0\acid70.exe -NOVSTGROVEL"

or you can open a command prompt, move to the ACID install directory and type in

Acid70.exe -NOVSTGROVEL

Once ACID starts use the plugin manager view to correctly set you VST search path.
