If this is the case, please go
into your ChurchBells
directory and delete the file called Shave.wav.)
(Then, if you installed off of a CD, please insert that CD.)
After that, please run ChurchBells. It will
refresh the sound files.

Install Problems:
Before we get to the most common cause of install problems, please
do the
following, just to make sure that you don't end up "chasing ghosts":
1) If need be, use Badger to make sure you have a complete
installation
fileset. (If you already have a complete
set, you'll be able to use that.)
2) Using Ctrl Alt Del to view the "Close Program" window,
highlight
and
then "End task" every running process except
Explorer and Systray.
3) Make sure you have at least a hundred meg of room on your hard
drive.
(Meg, not gig, if you have even a tenth of a
gig free, no problem.)
4) Use the Windows control Panel to uninstall ChurchBells.
5) Completely erase (delete) the C:\Program Files\ChurchBells directory.
6) Retry the install, using the MOUSE, not the command line!
this time always choosing overwrite (not
to "keep").
7) Please run ChurchBells from the start menu to complete the
installation.
It will unpack a bunch of wave files. Please
wait for this process to finish
before you do anything else in ChurchBells.
This will fix many problems without taking up a lot of time.
The most common source of install problems is mis-matched install
filesets.
Every day, people gain more and more experience with InspiredCode's
ChurchBells. We receive suggestions (and maybe even a bug
report or two)
from customers, and immediately take them to heart. Therefore, there
are
updates posted from time to time. The more diligent we are
in this regard,
however, the more likely it is that somebody will end up
downloading files while
new ones are being posted. When this happens, a mis-matched
fileset can be
downloaded, which will not install right. Fortunately, only
a few of the files are
likely to change. The solution to this problem is simple:
1) Delete Setup.exe and Church0.zip through Church4.zip.
2) Run Badger again to fill in these missing files with the latest
version.
3) Redo the procedure mentioned above at the top of this page.
