having problems with materials library

[sir fen the usa]

ive been having some problems here. last night i lost my materials in the library. i tried everything and finally reinstalled windows clean. after getting AM back i was able to get the library/materials to show up from the tin woodsman CD data but cant get them to show up via "extras DVD" anyone seeing this? the models show up just no materials.

so im looking at my vista 64 install and it seems to be the same. is it possible that the extras DVD was never linked to its materials folder? at this point im creating a new folder and creating short cuts to the materials.

It looks like libraries go in the data folder. You may have to map the path from Tools/Options/Folders and select the libraries in the data folder.

 

Start by looking in your Data folder to make sure all the library items are in there. If not I think you can just copy from the install disc. I'm not the expert on this, hope it helps!
