I love Beersmith and I am anxious to upgrade.  I downloaded BS2, I went to start using it when I noticed under the hopd lidt I only have EKG's listed.  I have some malts but an incomplete list. I am running the program on Windows Vista.  I also receive the errors listed below when exiting the program:

Hi,
  It looks like your install can't write to any directories...and is pointing somehow to the wrong place.

  Here's the quick fix:
  - Create a directory where you do want your stuff stored (such as Documents/BeerSmith)
  - Run the program, ignore all of the errors if you can
  - Use the "change documents directory" command on the file menu and tell BeerSmith to use the new directory you just created
  - Restart BeerSmith

That should take care of it....

Brad
