Adobe Robohelp 8 TOC pod does not display

I recently got a windows 7 machine and moved robohelp 8 to it. at first it didnt work but the a couple of patches were applied and now i can at least open my projects. problem is the TOC pod does not display at all. It does not show up in the pod list so I cant select it (obviously) any help greatly appreciated.my version is 8.0.2.208

thanks
