WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a customer tried to view a document in WordPerfect with an 8514/A driver selected at 1024x768x256, he would receive the error "Invalid Graphics Driver." The customer had a Deskpro 386/20 with a Multisync 4D monitor and a Paradise 8514/A+ Combo graphics card with 1M of VRAM. If the customer used the IBM VGA and Compatibles at 640x480x16, it would work, but the customer wanted the higher resolution. Solutions: The utility HDILOAD.EXE must be run each time the computer is booted to use the higher resolutions. On the Paradise 8514/A card, the utility is WDAI.EXE. It, like the HDILOAD.EXE utility, must be loaded each time the computer is booted. The graphics card comes with two utility disks, one with an INSTALL.EXE program that must be run to install the WDAI.EXE program. The INSTALL.EXE program installs the WDAI.EXE utility to a directory called HDIPCDOS and puts WDAI.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Without loading the WDAI.EXE utility, DrawPerfect would lock. After it was loaded, DrawPerfect also worked correctly.
