Did you download and install the file complete.exe? If you haven't, please do
so.
I suspect your problem is that you never rebuilt the parts.lst file after your
initial install. This file contains the list of all the parts in the library
and it is what MLCad reads to figure out what parts you have. Fontunately it is
easy to rebuild this file. Simply choose "Scan Parts" under the File menu in
MLCad. When MLCad asks you if you want to write a new parts.lst file, choose
yes.
Note: every time you download a new update to the parts library you have to
repeat this process to use the new parts.
