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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer's screen flashes white lines when moving the cursor through a document in WP. The status line also blinks as the customer moves through the document. The customer has a Packard Bell color monitor, with an IBM AT 80286 computer. The graphics card is CGA according to WPINFO. WordPerfect auto-selects the graphics screen driver as CGA 640x200 2 color and the text screen driver is also auto-selected. Solutions: The customer said that the /NF startup switch reduced the flash. The machine is 6 megahertz with an older BIOS. Using /NF or setting the Fast Text option to No in setup (Shift-F1, 2, 1, 2, n) will solve this problem on most CGA machines.
