How to Fix Broken BibleWorks

Post by admin »

If your installation of BibleWorks is not working at all, here is what we recommend:
  • If you see the Activation page requesting that you activate BibleWorks either by internet or manually, none of these options will work. There is no staff to see them. You should follow the procedure outlined in the Admin post Activating BibleWorks 8, 9 or 10.
  • If you see a notice that you are running a timed version or a trial version that has expired, exit BibleWorks and follow the same procedure as in the first point above.
  • For all other problems you will probably want to uninstall BibleWorks, delete the BibleWorks folder and then reinstall. Then request a new executable as described at Activating BibleWorks 8, 9 or 10.
  • Please do not attempt to contact the administrator by e-mail. He reads the posts made to the Activating BibleWorks 8, 9 or 10 forum.
