SYMPTOMS
When you try to start Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System (MSB Solar), you receive the following error message:

This program requires a newer version of Windows.



CAUSE
This error message occurs if the Windows\System folder contains dynamic linked libraries (DLLs) for object linking and embedding files (OLE) that are newer than the ones that were installed with MSB Solar.

These newer files often remain if, for example, you remove Windows 95/98 and reinstall Windows 3.1x.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, you must remove or rename the incompatible OLE files and run MSB Solar Setup again. To rename these files, use the following steps:

 Exit Windows. At the MS-DOS command prompt, change to the Windows\System folder. For example, type:

cd \windows\system

 Rename the following files:

Compobj.dll

Ole2.dll

Ole2.reg

Ole2conv.dll

Ole2disp.dll

Ole2nls.dll

Ole2prox.dll

Storage.dll

To rename these files, type the following at the MS-DOS prompt:

ren 

For example, to rename Compobj.dll to Compobj.old, type the following:

ren Compobj.dll Compobj.old

 Type win to run Windows. Run MSB Solar setup.

After following these steps, MSB Solar should run successfully.
