DesignSpark PCB Libraries not enabled


G7LFC

Hi. When I load the above software and create a new schematic design, I expected to see lots of components to drag and drop from the right side of the screen. When I go to File > Libraries I get a dialog box that states the default libraries do not appear to be enabled.

I go to the Folders tab in the Library Manager, as directed, and the suggested folder (c:\users\public\documents\Design Spark PCB 8.1\Library is greyed out (not enabled). I highlight the folder and click over the Folder Enabled tick box, as directed, but when I apply the changes it goes back to being not enabled.

I've checked, the folder exists and it's populated with files.

I've tried running the program as an administrator and performing the process again, but to no avail.

Please help, what am I doing wrong and why can't I see my components?

Many thanks for your assistance, it's most appreciated.

Regards
Derek
