upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit openSUSE 11.4--missing KDE desktop

I upgraded from the 32-bit to the 64-bit openSUSE 11.4. My KDE desktop is gone from my log in options. How do I get it back?

You don't say exactly what you mean by Upgraded
FYI: It would require a complete new installation

I burned and ISO image of the 64-bit version, booted from DVD and installed it on the partition where I previously had the 32-bit version. Everything else works and was the same except KDE is broken. For instance, Evolution was there and I did not have to set up my email addresses again. My printer drivers were there.

The only thing that does not work is the KDE desktop.

FYI: I also am running Windows 7 and Linux Mint 11 (both 64-bit versions).

Is there no kde plasma workspace option for login?

No. I have the other 3, but not KDE. I am currently using the Gnome desktop.

If you view Software Management > View Patterns
Right click on the kde-base and kde-desktop patterns and select 'Install'
Then apply
Does it install anything?

Where is "View Patterns"? I do not see it when I open YaST software management.
