WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When a customer using the ATI VGA Wonder Graphics card driver in both Windows and WordPerfect starts WP at DOS, everything works correctly. However, if the user starts WP under Windows, the screen displays too far to the left. The user has to manually shift the display over with controls on the NEC Multisync 3D monitor. Under Windows, the driver selected is Mode 54 H (800x600 16 color) display driver. In WP, the customer is using the VGA wonder 800x600 16 graphics driver. Solutions: This problem can be duplicated using the same graphics card, driver, and monitor when going into View Document. This happens when going into WP from Windows because Windows is running in 800x600 mode, and the customer has already adjusted the left horizontal position to move the screen to the left, since Windows displays too far to the right. When the user goes into WP from Windows (from graphics to text mode) the screen switches back to the right. The sync between the monitor and graphics card is thrown off when using 800x600. This is not a WP problem nor a Windows problem, but it is a problem with the monitor and the way it is handling the information sent by the graphics card at 800x600.
