Hello,
I just installed EAGLE on a Windows Vista Home Premium laptop.
I can create projects and schematics, boards, and gerber plots. However,
when I try to find them in explorer, they are gone. I open eagle and they
are there.
Also, any library files I create are there for editing. I then go to
Libraries - Use to add them. The operation appears to complete, but when I
try to use them, to add the parts to the schematic, they are not .in the
list. I can find the libraries in EAGLE, but they will not load as active.

I did find an answer to the help files not working. It works on my machine:
