    Hi Richard

    I have just made a new library. I can see the library when I open the control panel and brouse in the library directory, its OK

    But when I tray to see / find the new library from windows, I cant see it, but I can see all other library.

     

    When I open my lyberary in Eagle, there is a padlock on all icon

    Hi Kenneth,

     

    It sounds like your running a windows 7 machine. What you're experiencing is a byproduct of Windows 7's new security features.  The way we get around this is by running EAGLE in compatibility mode.

     

    See the attached text file.

     

    hth,

    Jorge Garcia
