Copy the following files to your WINDOWS directory: express.eqx gwpreset.ini Search your system for the file BWCC.DLL. If you find any copies, check the date. If the BWCC.DLL file included with GoldWave is newer, replace all old copies with the one included with GoldWave. Copy GoldWave to the windows\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, BWCC.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) GoldWave requires a minimum of a 386 processor. A fast 486 or Pentium processor is recommended. 3.2) VOC files are saved using version 1.20 format. GoldWave will only use the older VOC format if the sound is mono 8-bit with a sampling rate less than 23000Hz. If a VOC file saved by GoldWave becomes incompatible with your Sound Blaster driver: 1) Open the file in GoldWave 2) Make sure the sampling rate is less than 23000Hz. If it is not, use Effects | Resample to convert to a lower sampling rate. 3) Use File | Save as to save the file as mono unsigned 8-bit VOC. If possible, you should get a copy of the latest Sound Blaster drivers (ftp.creaf.com). 3.3) GoldWave now makes use of more of the RIFF WAVE standard file format. New chunks such as the 'cue ' and LIST 'adtl' are included to store cue points. These chunks are stored at the end of the WAVE file to minimize problems with some programs that do not correctly read/ignore WAVE chunks. Cues are stored only in Wave files. If you encounter problems with other programs, report the problem to the developers of the other program. 3.4) In RAM storage mode, the largest file you can open depends upon how much RAM you have for Windows. This does not include virtual memory. Use Hard disk mode when editing large files (Options | File). 3.5) In order to get the scope working correctly, you might have to change the positioning method in the Device Setup dialog box. 3.6) GoldWave includes a recent version of BWCC.DLL from Borland. GoldWave checks for this version of BWCC.DLL (or a newer one). If you get an error message, you should delete any older copies of BWCC.DLL or replace them with the one included with GoldWave. You may have to restart Windows to remove the older BWCC.DLL from memory. Only one copy of BWCC.DLL is needed and should be kept in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. 3.7) 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. 3.8) Updates for GoldWave can be downloaded from the GoldWave WWW home page: http://web.cs.mun.ca/~chris3/goldwave -------------------------------------------------------------- 4.0 Shareware, Copyright & Distribution, Warranty -------------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 Shareware ------------- GoldWave is a shareware program.
