Externals are not loaded

[matthias_livecode_150811 at m-r-d.de]

I am not sure if this might be the problem, but what version of 9.5.1 are you running? 32 or 64 bit?

If 64bit, maybe there is a problem using 32bit externals on a 64bit LC IDE and you should try the 32bit version of 9.5.1. But that´s just a guess.

I would say, Panos or Mark Waddingham could answer this better.
