AppleWorks 6.2 for Windows: Unable to Select Starting Points Tabs

Installing QuickTime 6 may prevent you from changing tabs in the Starting Points window when using AppleWorks 6.2 for Windows.

Symptom

Clicking the tabs at the bottom of the Starting Points window does not change tabs as expected.


Solution

This issue occurs after installing QuickTime 6 for Windows. There are three methods to work around this issue:

Method 1
If you are using Windows 98 or later, update to QuickTime 6.4 or later (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download).

Method 2
If you are using Windows 95, uninstall QuickTime 6 and reinstall QuickTime 5.

Method 3
If you are using Windows 95 and do not want to reinstall QuickTime 5, right-click on the Starting Points window (not the tabs, but the window itself) to be able to select the different starting points panes using the "Switch To" shortcut menu.
