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:
- Rename the following files:
Compobj.dll
Ole2.dll
Ole2.reg
Ole2conv.dll
Ole2disp.dll
Ole2nls.dll
Ole2prox.dll
Storage.dll
ren <filename> <new filename>
ren Compobj.dll Compobj.old
- Type win to run Windows.
- Run MSB Solar setup.
After following these steps, MSB Solar should run successfully.
