Microsoft Dangerous Creatures 1.0 for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q141642

SYMPTOMS

When you click the Help menu to open a window, no window is displayed. All subsequent attempts to open a window cause the computer to beep.

CAUSE

Dangerous Creatures was designed to center certain windows on the main window. This can be a problem when the main window is off the screen because the centered windows are also off the screen.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, do the following:

Press RETURN.
Move the window back to a normal on-screen position.

MORE INFORMATION

The window centered off the screen, along with the main window, contains an OK button. You can't perform any function until the OK button clicked and the Troubleshooting window closes.

When you press the RETURN key, the program interprets the action the same way it would if you clicked. The Troubleshooting window closes.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Dangerous Creatures version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
