Create a short cut to "goldwave.exe". Search your system for the file BWCC32.DLL. If you find any copies, check the date. If the BWCC32.DLL file included with GoldWave is newer, replace all old copies with the one included with GoldWave. Copy BWCC32.DLL to the Windows\System (or Win95\system or Winnt\System) folder if it is not there already. You should restart Windows to remove any old copies from memory. Note that BWCC.DLL (the 16-bit version) may be required by 16-bit programs, so it should not be removed from your system. 2.2) Uninstall Delete the following files from your Windows folder: express.eqx gwpreset.ini goldwave.ini Other files are listed in section 4.0. Generally, BWCC32.DLL should not be deleted from the Windows\System folder as it may be required by other applications. -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 Important Additional Notes -------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1) Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.51 or later is required to run this version. A Pentium processor is recommended. 3.2) GoldWave includes a recent version of BWCC32.DLL from Borland. GoldWave checks for this version of BWCC32.DLL (or a newer one). If you get an error message, you should delete any older copies of BWCC32.DLL or replace them with the one included with GoldWave. You may have to restart Windows to remove the older BWCC32.DLL from memory. Only one copy of BWCC32.DLL is needed and should be kept in the Windows system folder. Note that BWCC.DLL (the 16-bit version) should not be removed from your system. 3.3) In order to get the scope working correctly, you might have to change the positioning method in the Device Controls Setup. 3.4) If GoldWave crashes during playback or recording, contact your sound card manufacturer to obtain an updated driver. Some drivers are available from the World Wide Web. The GoldWave WWW home page has links to some sound card manufacturers. 3.5) Updates for GoldWave can be downloaded from the GoldWave WWW home page: http://www.goldwave.com -------------------------------------------------------------- 4.0 Shareware, Copyright & Distribution, Warranty -------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 Shareware ------------- GoldWave is a shareware program.
