Missing Shapes Library...

Post by frkrhe »

...My computer got a nasty virus which was removed but it corrupted my OS so we needed to have it worked on. Had everything backed up on an external hard drive. So after all was said and done and I got SCAL2 back on my computer I noticed that the shapes library is missing. I have the fonts, checked to make sure "all" was checked in the shapes library and still nothing. Now I did recently add the free upgrade SCAL3 for my Cameo but they are stand alone programs so this should not be affected. I still use my Cricut and SCAL 2 as well as my Cameo and SCAL 3 so I want them both to fully work. I am not exactly computer savy so I am not sure what's wrong or what I can do to get the shapes library back. Can any one steer me in the right directions to fix this. TIA.

Check this....First see if the files are in your program file on your computer. Assuming you are using a PC, follow these steps.

Start with clicking on your computer icon and then choose each file in this order:
Computer - Local Disk (c:J
Program Files
CraftEdge
SureCutsALot
Library
Basic Shapes.lcut2 (is it there in the library folder) The Rhinestones folder should be there also.

If it is, open SCAL and on your menu bar, click on Edit - Preferences
In the middle of the screen look that is says Users\Public\Documents\CraftEdge\Library

That is the link that takes you to the files in the Program folder for CE on your computer.

If the file is not there, send me a PM with your email.
