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

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer enters WP at the DOS level, everything appears to work "normally," but when the user enters WP through DESQview, WP reacts very slowly and is nonresponsive--even the mouse is affected this way. Solutions: In DESQview, under Tune Performance the user had the foreground execution set to only 9 ticks. This will be slow with WP 5.1. The user had a 16 Mhz, 386 computer. For configuring DESQview, it was divided by 13 for foreground execution and 3 for background execution. Quarterdeck's support operators are an excellent resource for helping customers configure DESQview properly.
