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:


 * 1) Remove the MSKIDS directory, including all Kids files and directories.
 * 2) In TabWorks, choose Set Shell from the Options menu.
 * 3) Select Program Manager as the Windows shell. Restart Windows.
 * 4) Install the Microsoft Kids programs from within Program Manager.
 * 5) Start TabWorks. Reset TabWorks as the default shell by choosing Set Shell from the Options menu. Restart Windows.
 * 6) 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:


 * 1) In TabWorks, choose Set Shell from the Options menu, and select Program Manager as the Windows shell. Restart Windows.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) Restart Windows.

After following these steps, you should see icons for the Microsoft Kids program group and for Magic School Bus.
