How to Install PC Study Bible

When you are installing different versions of PC Study Bible, it is important to keep in mind that you need to install the titles you have purchased outside of a library in a specific order. The instructions below will help you install your current discs. Check out the paragraph after these instructions for an easier method on installing your Add-On's.

Installing PC Study Bible

  1. First, collect all your discs that are labeled PC Study Bible. If you miss a title then you will either need uninstall and reinstall or purchase a replacement in a compatible Version.
  2. Next, sort the discs by Version; Version 3 separate from Version 4 and so on. This information is normally seen on the right side of the front of each disc.
  3. Then sort each Version by the release. This would be in the following order and only applies to Versions 3 & 4.
  4. Separate the discs in each Version like so:
    • For Version 3 discs - 3, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, Version 3 Bonus discs
    • For Version 4 discs - 4, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, Version 4 Bonus discs
    Note - You will not see this for Version 5 Add-On discs, but you should set all Version 5 Add-Ons anyway. Also, you may see discs labeled 5.1 or 5.2 which we will bring up later.
  5. Here comes the odd part of these instructions; Install your Version 4 Reference Library disc before anything else.
  6. Then, install your Version 3 Reference Library.
  7. After that, install the sorted Version 3 discs - 3, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, Version 3 Bonus discs
  8. Restart your computer at the end of the Version 3 Library installation.
  9. Then, install the sorted Version 4 discs - 4, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, Version 4 Bonus discs
  10. Next, install your Version 5 Reference Library Program/Upgrade or Program-Only Upgrade.
  11. Restart your computer at the end of the Version 5 installation.
  12. Then, install the latest Version 5 Update you have. For example, If you have the 5.0D Update and the 5.0F Update, then don't install the 5.0D and instead install the 5.0F.
  13. Note - These next 2 discs only apply if you have them.
  14. Install the disc that is labeled NA27 Greek Morphological Search Version 5.1.
  15. Then install the Features Plus Version 5.2

We do offer many of our titles as downloads and if you have purchased a title in the past, then we are more than happy to replace that title for no charge as a download provided it is available for download.

If any disc gives you an error message during installation, then you should replace the disc especially if it is an older Version 3 or Version 4 disc.

Replacements cost $8 per disc plus shipping and handling.
Any replacement can be ordered through Customer Service at:

  1. Minimize all your windows so that you can see the desktop.
  2. right-click on any blank spot on the desktop.

General Operations

Quick Access to Categories

If you are familiar with PC Study Bible then you know there were icons at the top for such things as Bibles, Commentaries, Topics, Greek and Hebrew Resources, and General Books. This icons are still there, but they have changed. Clicking on the icon for each Category will produce a list with titles in that Category or in the case of the Bibles Category, you get a window that allows you to bring up a specific verse, see the Outline of the chapters and Verses or go directly to any Parallel Passages.

Copy and Clear

PC Study Bible and One Touch have an amazing feature. Say you want to copy a set of text in John 3:16 from the NIV, the NASB and the NKJV. if your program is in Append Mode, then you can copy all three over to your document or sermon at the same time. But this can require you to clear out these verses. So not only do you need a Copy icon, but a Clear icon. One Touch places these icon's in the upper right area of the program window, just to the left of where it says Start Studying.
