I cant activate the effect... literally i go to "Limiter" i press enable it wont enable...
So make sure you click "OK", after enabling it. Then enable doesn't take until you click OK.
I hope this helps.

Please describe "click by click" exactly what you are doing and what you see. Post screenshots if necessary. Remember that we can't see your computer so we are relying on you to be our eyes.
If you've not already done so, read through this part of the manual:

Before you click the Enable button:
1. Does it say that "Limiter" is enabled, disabled or new?
2. What does it say the "path" is to "Limiter"?

press enable
3. After to click the "Enable" button, does it say that the Limiter is enabled?
4. Is "Low-Pass Filter" enabled?
