- 2.0 Installation, Uninstall
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 2.1) Installation
-
- Use Program Manager to create a new icon for GoldWave.
-
- 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:
