Inserts/plug-ins - Logic 4.8 Pl. What Happened??, I upgraded and now my inserts are gone? Options

[TXL.]

Greetings all. You have all helped me so much in the past, so here's another perplexing question...

my system specs:
new white ibook g3
512 Mb ram
Logic 4.8 platinum (just updated from 4.0)
emi 2|6 interface (using easi)

When I go into my audio mixer to add inserts (i.e. reverb, sample delay, etc) they no longer appear. There are no inserts to add. Just a blank grey area (where there used to be drop-down menus to select an effect).

I assumed this was because I had my plug-ins folder in the wrong spot for Logic 4.8 to access it, so i moved it into the Logic 4.8 folder in my HD.

Still no Luck.

This may be simple, but please help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

take care,
Jennifer

Have you tried using the ASIO driver?
If so, does that work?

If you haven't, put the ASIO driver in the folder "ASIO Drivers" and then select ASIO as your driver from "Audio Hardware and Drivers" window.
Make sure you have deselected EASI as the driver.
Then restart logic or relaunch Audio engine.

Make sure your Audio tracks are set to ASIO.

If it doesn't work with ASIO you may want to re-install Logic.

Also, you didn't mention whether you can play/record audio with the EASI driver. Do you see any activity in the meters in the mixer window?

One last question, have you turned off any extensions from the extension manager?
