INSTALLING WINDOWS WAVE FILES

These instructions assume you have maintained the standard Windows setup.  If you have done anything unusual with your directory names, then you will have to adjust for the changes yourself.  Wave files are supported by Windows 3.1 or later.

STEP 1:  Copy the "*.WAV" files into your "WINDOWS" directory.  On a typical system the path to locate the WINDOWS directory is:
   C:\WINDOWS\

STEP 2:  Launch Windows (if you are not already running Windows).

STEP 3:  Locate and open the "Main" Program group from the Program Manager's window by double-clicking on it.  You will see several icons.

STEP 4:  Locate and open the "Control Panel" icon by double-clicking on it.  This window will also contain several icons.

STEP 5:  Locate and open the "Sound" icon by double-clicking on it.  This will open a window showing which sounds you have access to and which are currently being used for various actions.  There will be two scrolling lists, the left list is a list of "events" that can have a sound attached to it; and the right list is a list of *.wav files that you can attach to the event.

STEP 6:  Use the scroll bar, if necessary, to locate the "wave" files you are interested in and the event you want to associate it with.  Select the event, then select the wave file and Windows will associate that sound with that event.  Be sure to click on the "Okay" button so your changes are saved.

We will be publishing more wave files in the future.
