Updates and Patches

Installation Problems: Windows 2000 and XP. After installing TLE, The Learning Equation group on the Start menu is "empty". Click a shortcut below and Save it to your Desktop. Use this to start The Learning Equation.

Shortcut to TLE Math 7

Shortcut to TLE Math 8

Shortcut to TLE Math 9

Shortcut to TLE Math 10

To create your own shortcut:

  1. Use Windows Explorer to open C:\Program files\TLE (one way to do this is to Right-click the Start button and select Explore).
  2. On the left side of the widow, select the TLE folder under Program Files on you C drive.
  3. Right-click the Nav32.exe projector icon and select Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut).

The Class Results Viewer uses arrow buttons for scrolling through student names when there are more than 25. These buttons may not function after printing the results. To correct this, download:

Collate.zip: for Windows 95, 98 or NT. Extracting this file creates a folder. Copy "collate.dxr" from this folder to the CRV folder usually found in C:\Program Files\TLEx. Click "yes" to replace the file when a message that it already exists appears.

Collate.sit for the Macintosh. Expanding this creates a Collate folder. Copy "Collate.dxr" from this folder to the TLEx Class Results Viewer folder on your Macintosh hard disk. Click "OK" to replace the item when a message that it already exists appears.


New Volume and Surface Area Explorer for Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0. This update added features that were not in the Windows version and corrects a bug that caused incorrect calculations with five-sided figures.

To install this Explorer, download Vol.zip and extract it into the Explorer folder in the TLE9 folder. (The default location is C:\Program Files\TLE9\Explorers.) Replace the existing Volume.exe application.


Escape Key Patch: In Windows versions of TLE, pressing certain keys in combination may reveal the answers. TLE can be modified so that pressing the escape key causes the program to quit. The following patches add this capability.

For this grade and version Download
TLE 7 West 2.0 G7West.ZIP
TLE 8 West 2.0 G8West.ZIP
TLE 9 West 2.2 G9West.ZIP
TLE 10 West 1.0/1.1 TLE10Wesc.ZIP
TLE 8 Ontario 1.0 TLE8Oesc.ZIP

Ontario grade 7, 10 v1.0, and grade 9 v2.0 have this function built-in. To install the patch in the other versions:

  1. Click the ZIP file in the table and download it to any folder on your computer (for e.g. My Documents)
  2. Double-click the file (this will require WinZip)
  3. Click the Extract button.
  4. In the window that appears, select a TLE folder (the default location is C:\Program Files\TLE) and click Extract.
  5. Click Yes in the message asking if you want to replace the existing Navigatr.Dxr file.

Pressing the Escape Key will now quit the program. Any work done since the last autosave (numbers that have not turned red) will be lost.


The following patches are for version 1.0 of TLE 7, 8 and 10 and 2.0 for TLE 9. For best results, update to the latest versions.

NT Error Patch: If the following error occurs starting TLE in Windows NT: "The procedure entry pointSMap_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll" may occur in older versions of TLE. Clicking on OK will get past the error message and it does not affect the operation of TLE. The following patches will prevent the error. To install, follow the instructions in the ReadMe file provided.


Printing Patch: If the Print function is not available in the TLE menu, download and install TLE Grade 9 V2.0. This patch contains an update to TLE 9 West v2.0 that will add screen printing. Only a few of the original CDs had this problem. If you see "Print" in the TLE menu you do not need this patch. To install, follow the instructions in the ReadMe file provided.


Grade Tracking Patch for version 1.x: If you get an error "This file is not part of the current grade level" when opening a student file that is from the correct grade level then download Tracking.zip and follow the instructions in the ReadMe file provided.

This ZIP file contains all the tracking patches for Grade 7, 8, 9, and 10 for Windows and Macintosh systems. It will not fix existing student files but should eliminate the problem for new files.
