DocumentID: 654117

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: If the letters WPC, WPC4, or WPCD, some strange symbols (smiley face), and the error, "Bad Command Or Filename," appear on the screen when booting up the machine, users should retrieve the AUTOEXEC.BAT file into WordPerfect and save it out as DOS text. These type of errors occur when the AUTOEXEC.BAT or the CONFIG.SYS file has been saved as a WordPerfect document instead of DOS text. If the CONFIG.SYS has been saved as a WP 5.1 document, it will probably be necessary to rename the old CONFIG.SYS file and create a new one with the necessary FILES and BUFFERS statements to run WP 5.1. Users should then reboot the machine, go into WP 5.1, rename the old CONFIG.SYS file, and resave it as DOS Text. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
