w32 cvs-version extensions not working, need advise

Hello,
I tried current CVS versions from: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/inkscape/builds/ or compiled by my own. But I can not run any extensions. During the startup it says that extensions will be disabled.
I use WinXP German and have ActivePerl and Python in my path.
PATH=c:\mingw\bin;c:\gtk\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\Borland\CBUILD~1\Bin;C:\PROGRA~1\Borlan d\CBUILD~1\Projects\Bpl;C:\Programme\Borland\Delphi7\Bin;C:\Programme\Borland\De lphi7\Projects\Bpl;c:\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOW S\System32\Wbem;C:\Programme\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Programme\WinCvs 1.3\CVSNT;C:\Programme\doxygen\bin;C:\Programme\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\Programme\Support Tools;C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\GTK\2.0\bin;C:\programme\subversion\bin
Any advise how I can track this down appreciated.
Thx,
Adib.

I think if you read the message it will tell you exactly which extensions are disabled. The ones that are disabled are missing dependencies. I personaly haven't tried many of the extensions that show in that dialog, since most of them are input and output extensions. Therefore I don't know which of them can be made to work on Windows and which can't. But I think that only the extensions for which Inkscape can detect missing dependencies are dissabled. All others should work.

Ah yes you are right. It misses that where the dependencies are violating thow errors. But where are the others? I thought that there is a submenu or something? pls see my screenshot. There is no Extension-menu.
Thanks,
Adib.

Now that is depressing. My German is so underused that I wouldn't be able to find the Effects menu if it were in that screenshot. :)
I'm almost certain that you don't have an effects menu because of a pre-existing preferences.xml file. You should be able to find your personal preferences.xml file in a path something like "c:\documents and settings\username\application data\inkscape". Otherwise look where ever Inkscape is installed.
When you find the file, you have two choices. Either delete the file and let Inkscape create a new one (you will loose your old preferences). Or edit the file to enable the effects menu as I have attempted to describe here:

Yep that was it. But just deleting the old file does not help. I have to edit the file and add your settings there.
Maybe we add this step in the WIKI .?
Thanks,
Adib.
