What am I doing wrong?....

I've copied over my .asl files and my .atn files to the right folder for windows 7 and PSE 6... and when I open PSE6 the new layers and new actions aren't there...:cursing: this was the one reason I was so hesitant to get a new PC even though we desperately needed one... I knew I was going to have problems. :crying: I need my drop shadows for scrapping... at least I had my CT pages done before switching computers, phew...

Loading brushes & actions are a lot different in PSE6... its really annoying. Were you using PSE6 with your previous computer?

Have you tried restarting you photoshop? And you have to delete your metadata file too before stuff will actually install.

I get my instructions from this blog post:

yeah, I had them in PSE6 on my old computer but it was Windows XP instead of Windows 7... I hope I don't need to upgrade, ugh...

Thanks for the link I'll give those instructions a try.

yep, I needed to delete the mediadata file... thanks so much! I'm so excited to have my drop shadows again, WOOT!

Yay! I'm so glad that you were able to get your files working (and htat I was actually able to give advice that worked, hahaha!)
