Hi Simon,

When you run the updaters, you get a whole bunch of new stuff.
If your Logic app is in the place the updater expects to find it, 
then new files are installed there. If your Logic folder is 
elsewhere, a new folder called <Logic 6 series Ÿ> will be created.

There should be a folder called <Res> in this <Logic 6 series Ÿ> 
folder with these files:
EFX_Res.shl
EMX_Res.shl
ES1_Res.shl
ES2_Res.shl
EVB3_Res.shl
EVD6_Res.shl
EVOC_Res.shl
EVP88_Res.shl
EXS24_Res.shl
Sphere_Res.shl

Mine are all v1.7.x - check to see if you have these files and that 
they are the latest versions. You need need to run the updater again. 
(use the Mac Find to locate these if they're "lost")

That should have worked fine.

I give Logic over 410 Mb, but I have 2Gb of RAM installed and I'm 
running lots of Spectrasonics instruments which need extra RAM. You 
have to juggle your RAM between Logic and the MacOS. You can always 
open <About this computer> in the Apple menu to monitor your memory 
usage while you're loading plugins.

You'll find it in the Song Settings menu, right at the bottom, called <Video>
I think that if you have a firewire device attached or a DV device 
like a Dazzle, this option will work.

Hope this helps....
