I downloaded a program from NXTLog and the MyBlocks in the file all have a crack in them. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

MyBocks are like little NXT programs and are stored in their own files on your computer. When you get a program from NXTLog with MyBlocks, you need to copy the MyBlock files into your own MyBlock folder. Your MyBlock folder is located in the same folder where you store all of your NXT programs. Once you have placed the MyBlock files into the MyBlock folder you may still see the blocks as cracked in the program. First, close the program without saving it and reopen it. Then, if the blocks are still cracked, you will need to delete them from the program and put them back in from your MyBlocks menu tab. Make sure to reconnect all the wires to the MyBlock.
