PP2014 Display/Preview Problem for Materials

When I loaded a Material in PP2012, let's say Runtime\libraries\Materials\Basic Materials\Woods wood1, I could see the material applied to the surface in the preview window.
In PP2014 I get a blank, white preview for that surface.
Help?

After copying all the pref and the poser.ini file from a "clean" installation it works again.
Now I "just" have to add all of my external runtimes again.
You could have kept LibraryPrefs.xml... ;-)
Actually - no.
I did try to copy my saved LibraryPrefs back - and got the no preview of materials again.
Don't ask me why, but I really spent some hours before I wrote for help - and then some more hours of testing after I posted my answer.
That's weird. :ohh:
If you haven't yet reinstalled the external the runtimes, you could try manually editing the LibraryPrefs using the list from the one in the previous install. Make a backup of the new one first...
Weird it is - I thought the LibraryPrefs shouldn't have anything to do with the preview ... I thought and Poser did. LOL
I added the runtimes one by one through the Poser +Add Runtime button.
Takes time, but I didn't want to kick it back into playing dead ... ;)
