Thank you fellas.
I have been on to PG. It took an hour or more, but this is what we jointly decided:

Please nbote that these issues follow after a complete reinstall advised by PG vafter other issues six weeks ago.

1] When the style picker is first launched before a rebuild, then all styles are shown, you can therefore try to select a style which you do not actaully possess. the quick view function will play a sample, but the style itself is not on your machine. You CAN favoritise this phantom style, but you cannot select it and use it. I must have done this and favorited it. it would not load.

2] I rebuilt the style list but the style the styles in question vanished from the stylepicker, but remained in my favourites list as a n/a (NON APPLICABLE?) style

3] The download manager in my case is misreporting that I have not installed 3 setup files for styles. I have installed these numerous times, they are still being misreported! They are showing in the "what styles do you have" dialgue, but not the download manager.

4] "The what styles do I have" dialogue reports that I do not have any missing styles

5] After rebuilding the style list the remaining styles seem to work

6] The Style packs are not included in the "What styles do I have dialogue" (which you have to realise telepathically)and the style I was struggling with, is in a style pack that I did not own - so it would not have show up anyway.

I have never really understood the difference between mega plus omni ultra audiophile xtra packs, plus packs, bonus packs and jam sandwiches. I just want the thing to work.

thanks for your concerns folks
