I get several emails every month from people running QuickVerse 4 and needing help to install it on a new machine, or to install some add-on product. Or they want to know where to find a particular QuickVerse 4 Bible, CD, or other related program.
I’ve made a decision tonight to just be done with that topic. Laridian has its own Bible software for Windows now, so there’s no need for anyone to keep using QuickVerse. If Findex wants to support their product, they can do it. I’m not going to do it anymore.
It’s been thirteen years since I sold all my interest in QuickVerse to Intuit coincident with the sale of Parsons Technology to Broderbund. It’s been eleven years since QuickVerse 4 (the most popular version of QuickVerse) came out. It’s been almost ten years now since I left Parsons Technology. It’s been about that long since tech support was available for QuickVerse 4 from its current owner. That’s a long time. Microsoft is on its third version of Windows since then. I’ve married off three daughters since then. QuickVerse has been owned by at least four different companies since then.
I’ll leave the QuickVerse 4.0g patch at my website. You need that version to install under XP and perhaps later versions of Windows. Once you download it and save it to your hard drive, just run it to update your QV4 installation to the rev “g” version of QV4. Other than that, it’s past time to move on. Both for me and for die-hard QuickVerse customers.
Until a couple weeks ago there wasn’t a good option for people who liked the old QuickVerse programs. Now there is. I’m ready to retire from the QuickVerse support business. I don’t really remember anything about that program anyway.

it’s 2012 and I am still using QV 4! nothing even comes close!
Danny,
HOW!? I miss my QV 4 and it won’t run on windows XP. Purchased the QV 8 and it is so inferior I don’t even use it. Wasted my money. How do I run it with windows Xp? Thanks !
Narita,
I updated the post to give the correct link to QuickVerse 4.0g. You should install QuickVerse 4 on your XP machine, then download QuickVerse 4.0g and run it. It will update your already-installed version of QuickVerse to the final version of the program, which runs on XP.
If you have trouble you’re on your own.
For Bible software for Windows that was written in this century and will run fine on XP and has tech support and has hundreds of new reference books available for it, see http://www.laridian.com.
I’m also a QV4 user that wont let it go despite the newer versions.
Since the program runs independently without support files in the Windows directory, I copy and transfer all the contents in its home directory to a new computer and a backup device without having to re-install it.
It will only need a new link, changes in the “options” Menu, and a new “Desktop.”
I run the program in XP and Vista without re-installing. My directory is “Program Files/Bible1/” or “Program Files/QVerse4/.”

Craig,
Thank you immensley for answerign so many questions for so many of us. Thanks for the 4.O especially. It was by far the best program ever. I’m lost now, but I really was thankful for your 4.0 Quickverse. Thanks again!
Craig,
Thanks for making your QuickVerse 4.0g updater available. I recently purchased QuickVerse 4.0 (just to get a searchable NIV 1984 edition – not available anywhere online due to the Committee on Bible Translation’s policy). QV4 wouldn’t open the “Go To Verse” dialog box until I installed your patch. I really appreciate your help.
God bless,
- Tim
Yes – QuickVerse 4.0 is the best – it is so sad to think I can’t use it on Windows8.
How many people throw a Bible away?
I guess with technology now – you can’t get attached to anything that is digital.
It will soon be non-supported .
Thank God – the Word of God never changes!
