I posting this in several forums, in hopes of some good old fasion help

I've been trying to get a couple simple devices, a screwdriver, and a biotech-something-another. both used for making sellable & usable items from monster parts & robot junk.

The problem is when I got to the terminals in the trade room that sell these items the terminals are empty. In the group of terminals that contain these items the only one I can see items in it the implant terminal. Also the terminals are all named "name missing".

Now someone had suggested that I reinstall. I did that and it didn't help. in fact its worse. I was at least able to see the names of most of terminals before. Now I can't.

Now I know that the terminals are the right ones for the items I'm looking for. As I had said in an earlier post that I was escorted there by a friend. This friend also purchased one of the items for me. then traded it to me. unfortunately, when he traded it to me (screwdriver) I was given nothing. I accepted a blank trade. but moments later I had a "no name" item in my inventory.

So please someone help me. I feel that there is a lot in this game that I'm not able to enjoy because of this malfunction.

Thank you

Try this:

- go to your AO folder and run speedread.exe
- choose the option to delete the speedread database
- run the program again to recreate it

That's cleared up a lot of issues with 'newer' items in stores like the screwdriver, bio-commutor, new backpacks, etc. It won't harm anything.

If that does not work, I've heard that using the same store a second or third time can get the inventory to appear.

Ohh thank you very much. I hope this works I wont be able to try it until I get home from work. But it does sound promising. BTW is speedread an exe thats already in the folder? or do I need to go & DL it?

It'll be in the same folder as clientr.exe and anarchy.exe It's a 56kilobyte file.
