Help!
I have just installed a new audio unit. While DP was examining the new unit I foolishly hit the "Mark as Invalid" button. Now DP seems to permanently ignore that audio unit, and nothing I can think of will make it come back online again. (I suppose I could completely uninstall the unit and start from scratch, but the installation has sprinkled files all over my computer and I'm not sure which are the relevant ones.)
Details: running DP5 on a Power Mac, OSX 10.4.8. The audio unit in question is Garritan's Jazz and Blues Band (so it's a virtual instrument with lots of support files).
I'll be grateful for any help I can get here.
How to undo "Mark as invalid"?

You have to trash the file audio unit info cache.
It's located in user/librairy/preferences/Digital Performer tm
When you launch DP, it will scan all your AU.
BTW there is a small free app audio unit manager... Worth a try

"Mark as invalid" undone
Thank you Grigri!
That fixed my problem nicely. DP now can see the new unit, I've checked that it's working correctly, my extreme frustration of yesterday has evaporated and I'm happy again.
I've also downloaded the Audio Unit Manager as you suggested, but haven't tried it out yet.
