Exteme 4.0 upgrade issue (Plug Ins)

[bmangraphix]

I just purchased and upgraded to extreme 4.0 and was excited to get right to work.
I tried opening a file to work on that contained live effects plugins but they do not show up .
I went to my program files and installed alien skin plug ins to the Xara 4 folder but still no good.
Any Suggestions?
Thank you

Hi BMan,

Have you closed Xtreme 4.0 and re-opened after installing the plug-in?

On my system version 4.0 found the installed plug-ins in the 3.2.4 installation folder without having to re-install the plugins.

yes, i have closed and opened 4.0 several times as well as make sure the plug in folders are in the 4.0 program file.
thanks,
Bman

Let me ask this,
The shortcut on my desktop says extreme 4 e-version.
Does this mean that i am still running the trial even though i purchased the upgrade?
I noticed on start up my name and company name appear but there is no serial number displayed under my name.

We are all running the beta trial version.

Hopefully you will see posts here soon when the software starts arriving in the mailboxes

I had the same problem that was easily fixed by going to Utilities>Options>Effects & Plugins>Photoshop Plugins and clicking the Setup button. Make sure your directories to your plugins are listed (mine were and I did not need to add any paths). Everything worked fine after that.
