Welcome to the forums! I rather suspect Solger has it.
Many Many newcomers to reaper with experience of other DAW software assume that a virtual instrument will just be "there" to play their MIDI files.
Reaper has very little in the way of Virtual Instrument plugins included, so if this IS your problem, it would be worth reading the Going all freeware (well almost) thread on here. Contained in it and internet sites like bedroomproducersblog are a huge selection of free plugins, including a lot of formerly commercial ones like the excellent MTPowerdrums2, which is as good as an awful lot of the expensive ounes on the market.
Hopefully this will fix things for you,but just in case, here`s a couple of other suggestions. Make surte you actually HAVE MIDI activity in the tracks where you have inserted a vstI. This shows as a thin red line in the track meter if you actually have MIDI activity, but you wont see any activity in the main part of the meter if your VSTi is not connected in properly and record monitoring set to either auto or off to hear playback, auto or ON to hear what you are actually playing in.
I would also like to see what you are using for an Audio/MIDI interface & how you have it set. The more info you can give us the quicker we will find what is going on.
P.S. The Kenny Gioia video tutorials really are excellent, especially helping on setup.
