Hi , I am very disturbed. I have a problem that i cant seem to solve I have Cubase 5 and I do not see any additional tabs in the VST connections, all i have there is in and out,no "group efx ", no “studio” tab, no control monitor to check or un-check, i have updated my Cubase to versions up to 5.5.3 and still nothing. is there something I am missing ,
Please Help
Are you sure you’re not opening a lesser version of Cubase? Might try trashing prefs? (Since I don’t own this version I’m not sure if there is a pref for this or not.) Could you post a screenshot? Very disturbing indeed. 
Yeah, sounds like you don’t have C5 but a lesser version!
