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

Problem

Symptoms: Starting WordPerfect 5.1+ with the SWP5.BAT file returns the DOS prompt rather than starting WordPerfect and ScreenExtender. Solutions: Reinstalling ScreenExtender and choosing the "VGA" graphics type instead of "SVGA" solved the problem. The new executable will be VWP5.BAT, which will start WordPerfect with ScreenExtender enabled. Causes: If SVGA (800x600) is chosen incorrectly during the installation of ScreenExtender, the user may be returned to the DOS prompt when starting WordPerfect 5.1 with SW5.BAT. An easy work around is to reinstall and choose the VGA (640x480) graphics type. If unsure which graphics type to choose, the user should check the owner's manual or card or contact the manufacturer for correct mode type.
