SYMPTOMS
If you install Magic School Bus on a machine that has TabWorks
installed on it, the Microsoft Kids program group and the Magic School
Bus icons may not display on the TabWorks page. In addition, if you
create tabs for them, they disappear when Windows is restarted.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem without disabling TabWorks, use the following
steps:
- Remove the MSKIDS directory, including all Kids files and
directories.
- In TabWorks, choose Set Shell from the Options
menu.
- Select Program Manager as the Windows shell. Restart
Windows.
- Install the Microsoft Kids programs from within Program
Manager.
- Start TabWorks. Reset TabWorks as the default shell by choosing
Set Shell from the Options menu. Restart
Windows.
- In TabWorks, choose Import Program Manager Groups from the
File menu, then select the Microsoft Kids program
group.
After following these steps, you should see icons for the Microsoft Kids
program group and for Magic School Bus in TabWorks.
If the Microsoft Kids program group and Magic School Bus icons are
still not visible, it may be necessary to disable TabWorks
permanently. To disable TabWorks version 1.0, use the following
steps:
- In TabWorks, choose Set Shell from the Options menu,
and select Program Manager as the Windows shell. Restart
Windows.
- Create new icons for the programs that do not have icons. For
more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see
your Windows printed documentation or online help.
- Restart Windows.
After following these steps, you should see icons for the Microsoft Kids
program group and for Magic School Bus.
