2.0 Installation, Uninstall
--------------------------------------------------------------
2.1) Installation
Create a "goldwave" directory and unzip or copy all files
into that directory. 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) directory if it is not
there already. You should restart Windows to remove any old
copies from memory.
2.2) Uninstall
Delete the following files from your Windows directory:
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 directory 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
directory.
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:
