SYMPTOMS
When you host a multiplayer game in Microsoft Links LS 2000, Microsoft Links LS Classic, or Microsoft Golf 2001, only one Golfer Appearance may be applied to all of the golfers in the game. For example, all of the golfers in the game may appear as Arnold Palmer.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if all 12 Golfer Appearances included with Links LS 2000, Links LS Classic, or Golf 2001 are not installed on the host computer.

A Golfer Appearance is an animation that is installed during Links LS 2000 or Golf 2001 Setup.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, remove Links LS 2000, Links LS Classic, or Golf 2001 from the host computer, and then reinstall the program. Make sure to install all 12 of the animations during Links LS 2000, Links LS Classic, or Golf 2001 Setup. To do this:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 3) In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft Links LS 2000, Microsoft Links LS Classic, or Microsoft Golf 2001, and then click Add/Remove.
 * 4) Follow the instructions on the screen to remove the program.
 * 5) Insert the Links LS 2000, Links LS Classic, or Golf 2001 Disc 1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
 * 6) Follow the instructions on the screen to install the program. Click Yes each time you are prompted to install an animation.

To work around this issue, host the multiplayer game on the computer on which the most animations are installed.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
