The tutorial assumes certain start-up conditions so that it can build a sample plan with correct durations and sample data. When you run the Tutorial, Time Line for Windows gets the correct initialization values from a file called TL_TUTOR.INI, normally found in your Windows main directory. Please do not alter this file. If you are experiencing problems related to the mouse not finding a task bar, the TL_TUTOR.INI file has probably been altered.
There is a backup copy of this file in your Time Line for Windows directory. If you are experiencing problems with the tutorial, copy the TL_TUTOR.INI from the \TLWIN directory into your Microsoft Windows main directory. Then run the tutorial again; the problem should be cleared up.
