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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer receives the error "Invalid Graphics Driver" when entering View Document. He has a COMPAQ Deskpro 286 computer with an amber monochrome monitor and a dual-mode CGA graphics card. In WordPerfect 5.0, the IBM CGA 2-Color driver was selected as the Graphics Screen Type and View Document worked fine. However, in WP 5.1 and the same setup, the user receives the error "Invalid Graphics Driver" when using View Document. Solutions: An enhancement request has been made to have a driver written for this machine. WP 5.1 performs a presentation check on each graphics card to make sure it is completely what it claims to be. If the graphics card is not making correct CGA function calls, then View Document will return the error "Invalid Graphics Driver." WP 5.0 did not perform a presentation check.
