I can't see anything products, install and uninstall Daz Studio and nothing. I can not even see the options... Do not use this content library because all scrambled, all installed with DIM... please some solution?

If the content is visible in your normal content library, maybe try reimporting your metadata.

Via :Content DB Maintenance > Re-Import Metadata

Reinstalling DAZ Studio does not affect content in any way.

If you installed your content with DIM, then it will be in C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library by default, unless you changed the path or folder.   You need to make sure that the path to your content folder (My DAZ 3D Library?) is listed in Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager under BOTH DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats.   That will allow content to be displayed in the Content Library pane.

For Smart Content, Products and Categories, you need to make sure that the CMS (Content Management Service) is running.   You should have installed PostgreSQL, which is the newer database system, from DIM, and if nothing is appearing in Smart Content, go to the drop-down menu in the Content Library pane, select Content BD Maintenance and Re-Import the Metadata.

When you run DAZ Studio, you should see several versions of 'postgres.exe' running in Task Manager, do you see that, and did you install PostgreSQL using DIM?

I was having the same problem (nothing showing in Smart Content) -  it turned out that I had somehow managed to install DS 4.8 without installing the Postgres CMS package.  Still not sure how I did that, but yeah, without the Postgres stuff running, the Smart Content stuff won't work at all.
