demo not working!

having the same problem here!
demo version of the fab's total bundle
windows xp sp3, ableton lite 8

----------------------------------------

i wrote one topic but looks liek it didnt show up about this case.

I am another one tht cant use anymore fabfilter,in fresh windows,xp sp3 none fabfilter plugin loads presets,showing the usual message about corrupting by other plugin etc.


I tried everything,reinstalling,downloading fresh factory presets from internet and it doesnt work and makes fabfilter plugin useless to me.

Have anyone found the way to solve it?

Fabfilter must have obvious bug/error that annoys some unlucky people :(

----------------------------------------

so this has been written way before me

i'm also having the same problem!
tried everything i could, re-install
download preset files, searched forums.

the error is showing like this

'the preset file could not be opened, it could be corrupt, from another fabfilter plug-in, or it was written by an incompatible version of this plug-in.'

no! i dont have any other plug-ins
and i'm using the right versions (demo)

there are no folders inside 'c:\my docs/fabfilter' until it first runs on ableton and after that it shows up but with no files inside, the downloaded presets also didn't worked. it's just showing the error message. 'the preset file could not be opened, bla bla..' and i'm not sure about saving your own setting (save as a preset) function is featured on the demo versions but when i push the save button, no files! nothing creating no nothing. so no presets, no save, no happy, no boom boom. so help!

Hi Dean,

Maybe it's easiest to focus on one plugin first, say Timeless 2. Click on the presets button in the plugin, click Options > Change Preset Folder, and please tell me which folder it opens.

Next, go to that folder with Windows Explorer and tell me what it contains.

What version of Windows are you running?

PS. You can also e-mail us using the contact link at the bottom of this page for quicker support.

yeay! i've just figured it out!
awesome! thanks for the hint!

c:\..\my documents\fabfilter\twin
okay, so this was my preset folder!
and after what you just told me
i was trying to create a new folder
something like \mydocs..\fab2
because it kept saying 'corrupt, from..'
and i noticed the \..\ wasn't english
so i tried removing the folder to
one that had no non-english characters
and omg! it's working!
i guess fabfilter is not supporting
multi languages yet but anyway, awesome!
thanks for the help! gby!

Hi Dean,

Glad you got it working. You're right: if a preset folder contains non-European characters, it might not work correctly. It's on our to do list. :-)
