WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer received the message "Invalid Graphics Driver" when trying to enter View Document. She auto-selected her graphics display, and WP selected MCGA 320x200 256 color. She doesn't have a graphics card. Why is it auto-selecting that driver when it should say, "Text No Graphics"? Solutions: Auto-select makes a best guess at what type of graphics card the customer has. In some cases, the motherboard will have some additional video chips, but not a true CGA/EGA/VGA type display. If the motherboard thinks that there is a graphics card in the machine, it would cause WP to auto-select the type of card it thinks it is. Usually, auto-select will return "Text No Graphics" when there is no graphics card installed and no graphics card on the motherboard.
