SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft SoundBits Browser will not show any of the installed collections if
the MBROWSER.INI file is either missing or corrupt.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Reinstalling SoundBits usually corrects this problem. However if the problem
continues, the MBROWSER.INI file can be manually reconstructed. In the following
example of the file, all three collections are installed; however, any one of
the three lines under [Collections] can be removed, depending on which
collection(s) you do not have.

Note there should be only three lines under [Collections]; however, due to the
length of the lines, they are wrapped in this article.
