No Text PlugIns

Aloha all. I just upgraded from VF1, using the downloadable VF2 upgrade. Once installed, I discovered there are no Text plugins or effects. All it says under text & Backgrounds is Solid Color. The tutorial stops because there are no plugins, so this appears to be an error on the installation. I re-installed, with the same result.
Anyone know what to do, or what dll I should be looking for, and where to get it?
Many thanks.

in the Sonic Foundry\shared plug-ins\video folder you should see

sfpagepeel.dll
sftrans.dll
vfplugs.dll
vidpcore.dll

If you see them all, try running VideoFactory and dragging all of these .dlls on top of the application. Select yes to each to register them.

If this doesn't work, or you don't see these dlls, try reinstalling VideoFactory.

Aloha. Thanks for you're info. I tried as you suggested with No Joy. I had those dlls in my shared/video folder, except the SFTRANS.dll is named SFTRANS1.dll (maybe because i copied it from VF1?). I did reinstall, with no luck. Still NO text plugins. And SF doesn't answer my e-mails. Can someone perhaps send me those dlls and maybe i can try to use them?
Thanks.

Your best bet is to download VideoFactory 2.0a, uninstall existing versions of VideoFactory, then re-install VideoFactory 2.0a. If that doesn't work please contact tech support directly and they will help you out.
