Audio Plug-in problems

Hello, I am running Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack 9 and I have a problem. When i try to use an Audio Plug-in I always get the following error : "The plug-in could not be run. One or more components required to run

this plug-in may be missing. If a hardware key (dongle) is required to

operate this plug-in, ensure that it is properly installed. A necessary

COM interface was not available. You may need to reboot your computer."

I have done a clean removal of the software and many clean installs and still I have only 10 working plug-in out of the full list. I have tried both install from disk and install from latest version from the web. I have also tried with all services ect disabled and still no luck.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this stupid issue? I have not been able to use the program since i purchased it a month ago.

Thanks in Advance
Grendor

Perhaps this will help (from the knowledge base):

How do I force Sony Creative Software applications to rescan for all my DirectX plugins?

Answer

Close any Sony Creative Software applications.
From the Start menu, choose Run. The Run dialog appears.
Type 'regedit' and click OK to open the Registry Editor.
Using the Registry Editor interface, navigate to the following directory: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Creative Software. Within this directory you will see subdirectories for all Sony Creative Software applications and their subcomponents.
Find the folder for the application that you are working with and click the '+' sign next to it. You will see another set of subdirectories: DXCache, License, and Metrics.
Right-click the DXCache folder and choose Delete from the shortcut menu. This will eliminate the DirectX cache for that specific application. The next time you start the application, the DirectX cache will be rebuilt and your DirectX plug-in changes will appear in the application.
Registry warning: it is always a good idea to backup your registry before making any changes to it. There is always the possibility of changing or deleting a critical setting causing you to have to reinstall the whole operating system. It's much better to be safe than sorry!
