Go into Options, to the Files tab, and look under Support File Search Path. Add the following path if it is not there:
C:\program files\autodesk\autocad 2013\support\en-us
Let me know if this helps.

Hi Bryce-
Larger issue would be if the program is dumping the file path, why is it doing so?
I've been experiencing many similar issues where all of the 2013 platform products (Autocad, Autocad MEP) randomly dump profiles, won't load lisp, etc. Usually I find that support paths have randomly disappeared from the working support paths table. Sometimes however files won't load even though the support paths indicate they did (sometimes even the APPLOAD dialog indicates they're loaded when they're not... go figure that one). Block libraries go unreferenced, etc.
Our configurations have worked very well (i.e. stable) for 4 years, but with the introduction of 2013, even the 2012 products have the same issues now which really has me puzzled... but since that's the only thing that's changed (adding 2013) to the mix, and the behavior is the same, I have to conclude that they are related or a recent patch to 2012 has introduced the same problems present with 2013.
