Hi Richard,

It's nice to see you are still around.

All I can tell you is there are a lot of orphaned references. When I go into DIM and locate them and then reinstall I get a message when uninstalling that folders are missing. It mainly seems to be the older products. 

I don't know why this is though. Or what has caused it. It may well have been something I did but if that was the case I don't understand why it is mainly older files that have been affected. I could understand if they were missing from the categories but I've found missing files under products when I've been looking to see what is happening also.

My only concern is to fix it so I can use my runtime.  

I've also noticed that a lot of the older products have been renamed which makes them harder to find and product pages don't seem to always have which character/dress is required.

I also made a duplicate of my downloads from Daz which I'm currently sorting through and finding many duplicates in different places within the download folder. 

I've decided to go back to manually downloading and sorting files so I have more control and only myself to blame if anything odd occurs.
