Step by step...

First:
I just asked to myself what do the SSE and the SSe2?
I know there is a link with a hardware but what else?

Second:
Just a report bug (?) about the vst scan list.
i had loosed more than one time my list of VST. Had to rescan all my vst...maybe i had pushed the software to much! (800,VST!)

SSE and SSE2 are two sets of instructions ( SSE2 being newer than SSE) for the processors.

Processors since the P4 have had SSE2 so you can consider the SSE build for "legacy machines".


About the problem with VST's, the limit of plugins (including natives) is 2048, so you are still halfway through the capabilities.

It is strange that the list is lost. This happens on two cases:
- That the modification date for that .dll has changed (Psycle then removes the entry and you could use "check for new plugins" to add the changed entries instead of having to rebuild the whole list).
- That a new scan is not finished, so the file is not written to disk.
Oh, well, there's a third case... that the cache is somehow an old version (but this shouldn't be happening, since at version 1.8.5 we changed the place of the file and in 1.8.6 the version hasn't changed)

What it can be?

Let me see.

It can't be the VST update because i never had problems with it.

It is also not an unfinish scan because it always restart automatically when i reopen the software.

And i have the 1,8,5 version.

so?

Maybe someone who was able to act on my HD for to try to find my secret plans and to use them for to destroy the world but he was unable to find it so he destroy the VST list because he was mad!

Or it is the cleaner software that i use because it is never when i use Psycle that this think happen but when i restart Windows.

I don't see other logical reasons!
