Sokoban Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't Live Update working ?

There is a bug in your SokoUpdate.exe file. Fix this by downloading SokoUpdate.exe. Save it and replace the faulty version in the Program Files\Sokoban 3 folder.
What happened to the YAHOO sound ?

When upgrading from an older version to 3.0.5 all files where supposed to be moved from the installation folder to Documents\Sokoban 3. The code that moved the sound files moved all files ending with .wav, but missed Yahoo.Wav because of the capital W. Fix this by downloading Yahoo.wav. Save it in the MyDocuments\Sokoban 3 or Documents\Sokoban 3 folder, depending on Windows version.
Do I have to pay for every new release ?

No! Once you have paid the registration fee, you get all future upgrades for free. So, why not register now!
Should I install version 3.x over version 2.x ?

No, install in a new folder. All settings, scores and solutions will be imported into the new installation.
Can I have both version 3.x and 2.x installed on the same computer ?

Yes, they have separate settings and can be run independantly.
Why do I get Access Violation ?

The most common cause is that you are not running your computer as Administrator.
How are solutions saved ?

The solutions are saved in the score files. These are found in the Scores folder. A fuller description of the score file format can be found in the Manual here.
Help, I can't solve a level?

Sorry folks, I have no solutions. Visit the Forum and post a question.
Where are my levels and skins ?

(Only versions before 3.0) There is a built in limitation on number of levels and skins in the UNREGISTERED version. When you pass the 30 day trial period, all but 5 level files will be moved to a sub folder named Save. The same happens with all skins except 3. After you have registered the game, the levels and skins will be automatically restored if you are running 2.3 build 5 or newer. Otherwise you can retrieve the levels by either reinstalling the program or moving all files from the Levels\Save folder to the Levels folder. Then do the same for Skins\Save to Skins.
