SYMPTOMS

Magic School Bus Explores The Human Body uses MIDI sound, which requires that the MIDI Mapper be correctly configured. Sometimes, the MIDI Mapper icon does not appear in the Control Panel group, and it is not started when you run MIDI Mapper in the Bus Stop utility for Explores The Human Body.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if the sound drivers for the sound card are not installed, or are incorrectly installed.

The MIDI Mapper icon will also not be present in Control Panel if the [Don't Load] section of the CONTROL.INI file has the Midi Mapper=1 entry. If Midi Mapper=1 is in the [Don't Load] section of CONTROL.INI, change the =1 to =2.

MORE INFORMATION

The MIDI Mapper Control Panel is present in the Control Panel group only if a sound board and the correct sound drivers have been installed. It is not a .CPL file installed by Windows; it is a Control Panel installed by the sound drivers upon installation.

Contact the manufacturer of your sound card for more information regarding the specific drivers for your sound card, and the correct installation of the sound card software.
