Problems with a VST Plugin - Neon Streak - 08-07-2016
So the other day I installed a VST plugin called Proteus VX and decided to try it out. So I opened up Fl Studio 12, inserted the VST into the channel which opened up the window for it, and got to work. On the left side of the window I noticed a folder labeled "Presets" and decided to open it...only to find it was empty. Confused, I decided to go to File-Open and search for the presets myself. I eventually found a file called "Proteus X Composer v2.0.1.exb", but when I tried to open it I got this error message:
"The file C:\Program Files [x86]\Creative Professional\E-MU Sound Central\Proteus X Composer v2.0.1.exb is not a vaild EOS or Emulator X bank file."
This is getting a bit annoying, and this is my first time using Proteus VX.
To anyone who has used this plugin before, how did you get around this problem?

VST's can be a turbo-pain sometimes, the way each DAW handles them is always a bit different and can throw up unexpected results, particularly with older software on newer OS's.
First thing to try is running any standalone versions, if that works the issue is specific to the VST, after that I'd say try running your DAW as an administrator to ensure it's got full access, failing that you can try running it in XP compatibility mode, although in the end that can cause more problems than just the VST not working.
