Have you scrolled down the Effect menu far enough? Plugins are listed below the dividing line (built-in effects are above the dividing line).

Make sure you have the 32-bit version of GSnap http://www.gvst.co.uk/dl/GSnapWin32.zip .

GSnap 32-bit appears in Audacity in our computers too.

Search your computer for GSnap.dll. Delete all copies of it, except the 32-bit version extracted from the ZIP file in the link I gave.

Is that Windows XP 64-bit SP2? If that is 32-bit SP2 you will need SP3 for the next 2.1.0 version of Audacity, and you should get SP3 for the extra security in any case. You are at some risk now that Microsoft does not provide security patches for XP.

Did you try resetting Audacity Preferences? See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/fa ... html#reset. Also (with Audacity closed), delete Documents and Settings<your user name>Application DataAudacityplugins.cfg.

Is GSnap is compatible with XP SP2?
The oldest version of Windows that I have tried it on was XP SP3.
XP SP2 became obsolete on 13th July 2010 :shock:
