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?

PP2014, SR3.1 (Version 10.0.3.26510), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448, 1280 MB (Newest driver installed), Windows7Professional german

    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 ... ;)
