If I have to re-install e-Sword on my laptop do I have to go thru that painful process of downloading all of my bibles, commentaries and dictionaries one at a time? 

[BaptizedBeliever]

If you already have the Bibles and such on your computer, than that is not necessary.  Just copy them all to another folder, then re-install e-Sword, and them move them back to the e-Sword folder, and all is well

Unless you wiped out the e-Sword folder as well no. 

 

But if you do first back up our bblx, comtx, dctx and topx files to cd-rom or flash drive. 

 

That way if you ever need to reinstall all or even just one of them help is just a drag and drop away. 

 

That way at worst all you should loose is the markup files (highlights and underlines etc).

My laptop had to be reformatted and I thought I had everything on my backup external drive, but can't find the $50 + worth of Bibles I purchased and downloaded.  Now what?????????  Do I have to spend another $50 +to repurchase them?  It was several years ago and don't think I have receipts.  I felt sick when I had reinstalled eSword and then couldn't find all te Bibles, commentaries, an dictionaries I purchased.

For American Bible Sales (NASB and/or Amplified Bible ) go to the software section and click on the Bible you need the key for then read the instructions in blue.
