I really messed up...

I know this is dumb but I moved my DAZ folders from individual folders in My Documents into one new folder in My Documents and the program cant find anything now. I should have asked before I did this but now how do I fix this? Thanks for any help!

    You need to edit your Paths in the DAZ Studio Prefs to point to the New folder. Then if you use Smart Content which uses the CMS Database you will need to build a NEW Database for the files in the new location. To do that you will need to STOP the CMS from running, delete the old Database file. Then Turn the CMS back on and in DAZ Studio reset the Database and Re-Import your Metadata.

    Thank you for the speedy response. I was able to get to my content but I don't know how to stop the CMS from running or delete the old Database file. I don't know which one to delete. I thought the paths were a little confusing before I messed it up! The render library is not linking up either. I am a new to this and still not sure how it all connects together. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    If you have a look at this link, it will show how to stop CMS and delete the database files.

    As I never use the Render Library, I prefer to save my work to my own folder locations, I'm not able to help with that issue.

    Thank you everyone for all your help! And quick responses too! I have saved the my files to a flash drive but I have to uninstall and re-install to get this working right again. I appreciate all your help.
