Help! I have recently downloaded the new patch for spore:creature creator, and after opening it, I have found that whenever I go to paint or test drive mode, instead of getting any textures or colours, I just get the body shape with a mish-mash of random textures, like a green/purple check square, black squares, a square with the spore logo, a square with a white/black checker pattern, and a square with the picture of a group of spore creatures at the bottom of the spore website.
Can anyone tell me what to do?

I have sorted it out!
For some reason the creature creator had been installed in an external hard-drive, and the patch in my local hard-drive. After a simple move, it now works.

ive got the same problem i think. i get the patchy black and white thing, some textures work and others dont do anything at all, and when i try to change some textures it just mixes with the previous one (even the pre set textures) its really starting to do my head in. i tried the above suggestion but dont think thats the problem as its all installed on the internal hard drive, and it worked fine when i first dowloaded it.

does anyone have any other suggestions? it would be most appreciated.
