where did the patches go?

[Liric]

So I wake up one morning and all the patches for effects, instruments, everything, are absent from the browser. It doesn't show a thing. Reinstall didn't help. Where are the patches usually kept, are they in the program files somewhere or does Live keep them with the user files? I want my damn patches back.

Thnx in advance.

Maybe try searching for the unique named stuff, like simpler or beat repeat - Windows or Mac will show the root directory. So, did the icon in the upper left disappear as well or is it still there and when you click it's empty?
