what do you see when you hit

windows_key & f

and type

*.als

you should see every live set on your system when it has finished searching.

sorry ive exagarated. my files from live 5 are there. and a couple from live six. but not my recent files. yeah i tried the .als search but can find them.
it asked me to create another folder for some reason couldnt understand why so i named it ableton2 but thats also empty i know i know but it said it couldnt be launched without a new folder. i rekon ive done it while adding this new folder. cant understand why i can search it on OS. i know im having a bit of a bitchy freakout session but these were my best songs and were flowing well for a change.

are we talking about a new library folder here, or a new program folder for teh new version of ableton?

just for the record you should never store your own songs in the ableton Library. Keep them separate.

i cant remember exactly what the folder was for. iin the ableton program it just said it needed a new folder to save sets into. but when i checked it for the missing 'recent sets' it was empty
