Antares Autotune not working after reformat?

[ninjistic]

Hello everyone,

I have been researching this issue for days, trying different solutions, but sadly... I have not found a fix!

I recently reformatted my Windows XP (cleared the hard drive and reinstalled the OS). I then installed all the drivers and software I previously had, including the latest Audacity and Antares Autotune. I went through the same process I did the first time.

I installed Audacity first
Installed Antares Autotune
Went to C:Program FilesAntares Autotune and copied the VST plug-in titled "AutoTuneVST.dll" into the "Plug-Ins" folder located in C:Program FilesAudacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)

But when I opened up Audacity and looked under the effects menu, there was no Antares Autotune option! I know it can work because I had it properly functioning on my PC prior to the reformat.

What am I doing wrong? Has anyone had this problem? It is driving me crazy! I need Autotune cuz I really cannot sing that well!

If anyone has a solution, pleaseeeee help me out!

I like your honesty.

Did you tell Audacity to rescan for VSTs?
(see here for details: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/VST_Plug-ins )

It was unchecked but when I checked it and restarted Audacity it still did not appear in the menu

thanks for trying though.... any other suggestions?
