SW 2011 doesn't recognize any Material Database

SW 2011 doesn't recognize "solidworks materials".sldmat

Hi everyone.
I have a problem with my SolidWorks 2011. When I click "Edit Material", Material Database is not loading, there is nothing there. In "Options > File Locations > Material Databases" is "C:\Program Files\SolidWorks Corp\SolidWorks\lang\english\sldmaterials", and there is a "solidworks materials.sldmat" on this location. I reset all System Option, but the problem remain the same.
I can't understand what's the problem. Please help :\, thanks!

Try adding to File Locations:
C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2011\Custom Materials

It is added, but doesn't work. Even when I try to save a new Library it doesn't record *.sldmat file at all...

RE: SW 2011 doesn't recognize any Material Database

Do you get an error message, or is it just blank? You may need to run a repair on SW.
