Once installed you will be able to run the programme from the icon on your desk top or the programme listed under 'Steamsounds' in All Programs on your Start Button.

Troubleshooting
The programme does not work - Do you have a version of Windows Media Player v6.4 or later installed? This is required for the programme to work.
You may need up to date version of the Visual Basic runtime library.
The installation package does include the VB runtime files required but will not overwrite them if they are already present on your machine.
I set it up this way as, personally, I do not like installations that overwrite existing files, even if they are newer, without giving the option not to!
You can obtain both Media Player and the latest VB runtime files from the Microsoft web site.
Click here for Media Player.
Click here for VB runtime files.

The programme still does not work - Visit the steamsounds web site and look at the latest information there.
If you still have a problem use the Feedback facility and describe the problem. Give as much information as possible including details of your operating system and PC specification along with any error messages that you see.

While playing the recordings, they sometimes pause briefly or stop - Unfortunately this is a common problem particularly with DVDs. Not all CD and DVD drives in computers are quite the same and, from time to time, some will have difficulty reading disks in them. When this happens they will try to recover and continuing reading the file which you are trying to play, this is what causes the pause. Occasionally they will refuse to read at all and this will cause playback to stop. Modern CD and DVD ROM drives seem to suffer from fewer of these problems.
I test all CDs and DVDs in two drives other than the one they were burnt in before dispatching them to make sure that they are OK but that doesn't guarantee that they will be OK in every other drive.
There is no simple solution if you find that you are having these problems. Sometimes ejecting the CD or DVD, re-inserting it and starting playback again will fix the problem. Sometimes rebooting your PC will help.
One solution that can be guaranteed to solve the problem is to copy the audio files onto the hard disk in your PC and play them from there. The contents of a single CD will require 700MB of hard disk space and a DVD a little less than 5GB. If you have sufficient space on your hard disk I would strongly recommend that you do this. See this page for instructions on how to do this.
If you have a CD or DVD writer in your PC you can try copying the disk. Having done that you should be able to play the new disk in the drive in which it was created without problems.
If these problems persist visit the steamsounds web site and use the Feedback facility to get in touch, I may be able to make other suggestions.

Strange things happen if I'm using Media Player and Steam Jukebox at the same time - I'm not suprised!
Steam Jukebox uses part of Windows Media player to play the recordings so using the two together could be confusing. Not recommended!

I'm getting errors while using the programme - Visit the steamsounds web site and look at the latest information there. Your problem may already have been dealt with.
Or perhaps you've found a bug! Use the Feedback facility on the web site to let me know. Please give as much detail as possible including details of your operating system, PC specification and any error messages that you see.
The most common error message will tell you that there is a problem playing a track. This will almost always be due to the mp3 file requested not being present. Do you have the correct CD or DVD available? Have you copied all the required files to your hard disk? Is the CD or DVD ROM drive working correctly? Try ejecting the disk and reinserting it. Some older DVD & CD drives may not read reliably. You will get better results by copying the contents to your hard disk. See this page for instructions on how to do this.

Can I get updates to the programme? - Yes. Like the programme, updates are free and will be found at the steamsounds web site.

If you are reading this as part of the help file that arrived on an album CD or DVD, you may find more up to date information in the FAQ on the web site.
