KiCAD is mis-placing schematic symbols

Hi,
I work on Kicad on a computer in the office. Then when i go home, i copy the kicad project and libraries…and load them on my computer at home. For some reason it then looses a lot of the symbols in the schem when i re-open the kicad schem at home.
It must know what they are because it puts a question mark in the schem and writes down in words exactly what the symbol was (the ‘value’ field).

I can individually click each question mark and then get the correct symbol put back in there…but this takes a lot of time.
Do you know how i can avoid this happening?..or how i can quickly “re-incarnate” the symbols?
 

Also, library paths on your home computer should match library paths on your office computer.
Thanks, oh sure, when i move to the new computer i tell kicad where the library now is.....but it still cant find it.
