Q: Media Browser not displaying Effects, Objects etc

I've never had a problem before but my Media browser is not displaying text, LiveType, effects, objects etc.  All the options work and I am working from memory but would really like to see them again.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  It feels like a preferences problem but I can't figure it out...

Thanks in advance :-)

    Do you see the LiveType Media  folder with content when you look in Finder:

    If not, it hasn't been installed correctly or was moved.

     

    If it was only moved, open LiveType > Preferences:

    Click the + button at bottom left and navigate to the new location.

    Thanks for getting back.  I have all the elements where they are supposed to be and they do work in the application.  I can apply them, I just can't see the preview of the effects, textures etc in the Media Browser....

    I haven't seen that problem before.

    Trashing LiveType prefs would be a good start:

    Users/your name/Library/Preferences. com.apple.LiveType.plist is the one you need to remove.

    Thanks Nick.  I relocated the prefs and also trashed the other prefs and neither worked.  It's weird because a very few objects do appear but 99% don't.  Text is there but Livefonts aren't. I'm going to have to reinstall the software because I've tried everything I can think of....
