Some wont install?

I'm sorry for the simplicity of this question; I have looked but cant find anything.

I cant get any of EL-vis's or Whackos or several other artists works going... It installs them but they dont appear under the selection menu.

I'd really appreciate it if someone wouldn't mind pointing out my error 🙂

Maybe you're installing them to the wrong winamp directory. When installing it make sure you install it to the right directory for whichever winamp you're using.

and make sure you put them in "wacs/data/avs" directory if you have WA3 or "/plugins/avs" if you have any WA version other than 3.

Hello... I have the same problem... I install it in that directory... but it doesn't appear.... What do I do???
For example I can't install the Valentine dancer (I use WA 2.81)
thx a lot....!

The Valentine Dancer is not AVS. Do not install it in the AVS directory. Or better yet, don't install it, because WildTangent is crap and will put a lot of spyware on your computer.

Ummm then what is it?? And is the difference btw these things...??? And what will this install, again???

AVS is a visualization studio designed by Nullsoft. It allows users to easily create their own presets.
The Valentine Dancer is a plugin for Winamp. It is not an AVS preset. It is it's own visualization plugin that has nothing to do with AVS. WildTangent - the company that makes all of the different dancers - is well known for installing spyware on your computer. This spyware sends information about your computer to WildTangent, which spams your e-mail account with a lot of crap. As far as I know, it doesn't do anything more malicious, but I may be wrong.
