Media Browser Foibles

When it comes to the media browser, I seem to be missing something .... like some files!
 
I mean when I try to access any of the loops or one-shots for audio-previewing or clicking-and-dragging, I end up at a blank dead end.  I've heard of ghost notes but c'mon, this is ridiculous.  For example, I'll click at Audio Library / Loops / Loopmasters / Rock & Funk / Funk Guitars and then there's no more icons to click. 
 
When I looked in the Cakewalk Content folders on my C: drive, the folders that are supposed to have loops in them (such as the aforementioned Funk Guitars), are empty.
 
Obviously, my expertise in this area is limited, and I'm probably overlooking something pretty basic.  Hopefully the friendly Cakewalk community can help me figure it out.  If not, I can at least crow to my friends that I used the word "foibles" somewhere.
 
I'm going to attempt to attach a screenshot that shows four stages of click-throughs all on one screen (starting at the Loopmasters screen), and hopefully you'll be able to click on each of the four stages to see the progression through the chain, with the dead end on the last stage/screen.  Bear with me at first while I get it to work properly (limited expertise here, too).  
Thanks!

    You are correct there should be quite a few files in the "Cakewalk Content/Audio Library", somehow they did not get installed or were inadvertently deleted. You will need to reinstall them or get them from a backup.
