new to MPC's, need some help with VST

Hello! First post on this board. I was having some trouble loading some VST's I purchased. I followed these instructions;

And even after rescanning all, nothing shows up when in the drop down menu under Plugins. Any ideas?

You have choosed the right vst directory ?

Yes, of course. The plugins are in C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins which has been selected under Preferences. But when I go to open one the only thing that shows up is MPC Expansions.

One reason might have to do with your plug-ins being 32-bit and you're running Ren in 64-bit mode of the other way around.

Which plugins?

Anything in the "\Program Files (x86)\" folder is probably a 32 bit application.

MPC Software, from version 1.3 onwards, defaults to running in 64 bit mode.

You need to use 64 bit versions of your plugins, and point to the "\Program Files\VstPlugins\" folder with those 64 bit versions of the plugins installed in that folder, or run MPC Software in 32bit mode, and point to the "\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins\" folder with 32 bit versions of the plugins installed in that folder.

Interestingly enough, the plugins are in the Program Files too. I looked that up at first and made sure they were in the proper folder. I also made sure to Rescan All. Here's some visual image of what I'm experiencing.
