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.
