SYMPTOMS
When you run Magic School Bus Explores The Human Body on a machine with an Aria sound card, the program may stop responding (hang) when the classroom or the driver's license is displayed.

This is normally due to the MIDI configuration for the sound card.



RESOLUTION
Use the following steps to resolve the problem:

Windows 3.x
 Make sure that the Midi Mapper is configured for extended MIDI (Channels 1-10) and that you can play Canyon.mid using Media Player.

If the MIDI mapper icon does not exist in the Control Panel, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

123074 School Bus: MIDI Mapper Does Not Appear in Control Panel

 Check the Midi Mapper's Patch Map Name for an entry such as "Gen Midi." If there is such a name, change all Patch Map Names to , then exit Midi Mapper and save the changes. Run Human Body.

If the program still hangs:
 * 1) In Midi Mapper, under Port Name, select Aria Synth for all channels (1-16), exit Midi Mapper, and save changes.
 * 2) Run Human Body.

If it still continues to hang:
 * 1) In Midi Mapper, under the Active column, make sure all channels (1- 16) are not checked.
 * 2) Exit Midi Mapper and save the changes.
 * 3) Run Human Body.

(NOTE: This disables all MIDI sound in Human Body but confirms whether or not the MIDI configuration is what is causing the problems.)

If the problem continues, please contact Aria or your hardware manufacturer for technical support.

NOTE: For more information about how to perform these tasks using MIDI Mapper, refer to the documentation that accompanied your sound card.
