    Open Services and check if DAZ Content Management Service is running. If not, run it and restart DAZ Studio.

    You can turn ON and OFF CMS using Windows OS Via the Start Menu Button > All Programs > DAZ3D > Content Management System > Turn ON/OFF CMS without the need to restart Daz Studio.

    Ok Now I am in no mans land.

    I have seen this mentioned a while back and I went looking for the threads and couldn't find the right one with the solution. However it could be down to a corrupt CMS Database for which adam has posted some help here http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/8028/#105548

    I am sorry to here that. You should have a copy of it as per adams instructions but as I said this is no-mans lands for me as I have never had these issues myself so reading about them and trying to remember every solution is very hard sometimes.Some links I save some I don't. But when I have to deal with an issue myself then I remember. I have spent a few hours using google trying to find help with this issue. And as far as those instructions it was my belief that saving the User data saved your categories.

    well i do have the backup databse file. So anyway to getback my previous categories. Should i just copy paste my backupback??
    As far as that procedure was conserened when i used export userdata it got over in a sec whereas it took 2hrs for him.
    Also on step3 when i started daz studio it didnt prompt me to import metdata so i manually reimported it
    After that i didnt recovered my categories

    Sounds like your Database was Error'ed up already or that the CMS was dead again when you tried to Export. No Database funtions will work if the CMS is not running.

    I'm at a loss as to why Categories stopped and the Smart still worked. That should not have happened.
