MA Custom Mission Content Not Being Recognized

I sincerely hope that this is a known issue and only happened because of I15.

Earlier today I backed up all my custom content that I used in the Mission Architect. I uninstalled City of Heroes from my Toshiba Satellite Laptop that runs Vista, and re-installed CoH onto the secondary drive that my computer has. Everything except my custom MA stuff works, when I go into the AE Editor, my custom groups, characters, and locally saved missions do not show up. I've checked the part of the CoH file they're usually in, all my custom content is there. There's something keeping City of Heroes from being recognized through Mission Architect, anyone have any idea what that might be, and how to fix it?

Just to make sure, you've manually copied over the various folders and files that locally-stored MA content uses, into the correct places?

The next thing to suspect is folder or file permissions. Make sure the account that you're using to run CoH has permission to read and write to those folders. Depending on how you moved the files over, they may still be owned by the user you were on the laptop. More recent versions of Windows are more picky about this sort of thing.

I have manually transferred the files to be sure, yes. As far as City of Heroes is concerned, all aspects of it are being run as Administrator.
