fieldica,
Sorry that you are seeing this issue.
1) Can you please share your installation details from MyEclipse > Installation summary > Installation details ?
2) Are you behind a firewall or proxy ? If yes then you have to set up your proxy details here – Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections and restart your IDE.
3) Can you try this alternative – Click on Window > Open Perspective > Other > CVS Repository Exploring. This will open the CVS Repository window . Expand MyEclipse Example > Head. Right click on any example project and click on [Check Out]. This will check out the project to your project explorer. Please read README.txt.
4) You can also visit http://www.myeclipseide.com/module-htmlpages-display-pid-7.html as some of the sample projects are part of the tutorials
