Please choose your Vita Basic Path!?

Help Please,
All of a sudden I cannot load previously made arrangements or manipulate instruments and loops. I get the box that says "Please choose your vita basic path". I have MM15 and I choose okay and then find my synth folder and cannot find any "vita" folder even after showing hidden files via control panel.I am a windows vista user.
It wont allow me to select a path. I can find C:\programfiles\magix\musicmaker15\synth
There is no Vita folder and it will not allow me to choose the above path as a valid file path it says:
GetFileAttributes failed.The file/folder doesnt exist.
Full path C:\ProgramFiles\Magix\musicmaker15\Synth\layers
Your selected path is not a valid vita basic path. Would you like to try again?

Then it says:
Failed to create VST instrument.
Vita

Can anyone help?
Same issue with mm10 version

On my computer, MMM-15 stores its files in two locations.  The only synth stored in the Program Files folder is LIVID.  Vita is stored at this location....

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MAGIX\MusicMaker 15\Synth\Vita

I also have all of my other VSTi instruments in this particular Synth folder.

[edit]  I should mention I'm using Windows XP.

My Vita synth dissapeared all of a sudden, my fix is the following:
In Magix 15 open your track, Double click the Vita Icon in the Synthesizer area or anything else you know that will give you the message, Please choose your Vita Basic Path.  click OK to that and find the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\MusicMaker15\Synth\Vita
DO NOT OPEN THE FOLDER, JUST SELECT IT AND CLICK OK and make sure you choose Program Data, NOT Program Files

Before you do all of the above do the following:

Note: you will only be able to find the folder by showing your hidden files and folders. Just in case you don't know how to do that? before you do the stuff I mentioned above:
In windows XP:
open any folder and in the menu of the folder choose: Tools --> Folder Options, select the second tab in the dialog box (View) and tick the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button.

In windows VISTA:
Open any folder and choose the "Organize" button in the top, then choose "Folder and search options" select the second tab in the dialog box (View) and tick the "Show hidden files and folders" radio button.

I have my baselines back!!!!!

Let me know if it works for you!

There is no "Vita" icon in the synth folder or anywhere.
Is there a way to reinstall mm15 WITHOUT  losing all my soundpools and arrangements?

Nevermind! I fixed it myself
..I reinstalled it and didnt uninstall it, that way I still had my arrangements.
Thanks guys

Well done, It seems with MMM15 there is a different solution for each individual, It's sad we do not get any proper supprt from the developers, seems like they only want your money, but none of the hassle!
