I hope this can anyone who has had a problem of effects/transitions not showing in the plug-in chooser

I suggest that you Go to Start-->Run and enter REGEDIT.

Within the Registry go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\, find the Sony Media Software folder (for older Sonic Foundry applications you would find the Sonic Foundry folder instead).

Right click on the folder and choose Permissions.

Make sure that Administrators, System, and any user account you log in with are all listed at the top. When you highlight each one they should have the Full Control and Read checkboxes turned on. If not, check each of those. Click Apply and Ok.

The program should then start properly.

Registry warning:

Note: 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!

*Note that you may experience problems when installing/running the program via a domain-based account with Administrator privileges. If you experience problems, try creating an Administrative account locally on the machine and installing the program while logged into that.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have followed up questions or need further assistance with this issue, please update this incident.
