Hi fredfuks - Welcome to the MSZ Forum :)

If you have done a clean install of Windows, all of your presets would have been deleted, because they live in the Windows Registry.
You should have a done a backup of your Windows Registry Presets folder before you did the clean install.
You can also use the old Sony Preset Manager to backup Presets in the future!
I have an FAQ and download link for the old Sony preset manager here.
Install the preset manager and read the Help file - use this from now onward.

The location for Sound Forge presets kept changing with different versions of Sound Forge.
Luckily I also still have Sound Forge Pro 11 installed.

The main locations for presets are in the Windows Registry here:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DirectShow\Presets
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Media Software\Sound Forge\11.0\Presets
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DirectShow\Presets\FX Packages

I just did some experiments, and most of my presets seem to be stored here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DirectShow\Presets
Inside of the Presets folder will be lots of folders with random characters - in one of these folder will be your presets.
