Hey AASteveo,

From what I can see in your images, none of them point to your Waves Plug-ins folder. In your Applications folder, look for the Waves Folder and then the Waves Plug-ins Folder (look at the 3rd image below) and then once located, it should load your plug-ins.

You also mention that it's asking for 5.9.6 when you in fact have 5.9.7.. Look in your Pro Tools plug-ins folder and see if both 5.9.6 & 5.9.7 are located in there. If so, take out 5.9.6, place it on your desktop and reboot PT and see if all works fine.

Chris

PS.. Btw, the plug-ins should not be in the Waves Preferences folder. They don't belong there.

When I open PT, it asks me to find the folder where the Waves plugins are.

I try to open the folder Library>Preferences>Waves Preferences.
Theoretically, this is where the file should be that PT is looking for. I know this because when I remove the 5.9.7 file from that folder, it gives me the same error message again but for 5.9.7 instead of 5.9.6. As you can see, I don't have the 5.9.6 file in that folder and I have no idea how to re-generate it.

So I just click "cancel" and it gives me this error message:

It thinks I don't have any plug-ins, but I can use them all in PT and they work fine.

But it's weird because the file it's looking for exists in this folder:

I tried selecting this folder when it prompts, but it still wasn't satisfied. I have no idea how to get rid of this stupid error message!

Right now I'm re-downloading the 5.9.7 bundle to see if that will fix things, but I just don't understand why it's asking for 5.9.6 when I have 5.9.7 and 5.9.8!
