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

Problem

Symptoms: The computer would randomly lock especially after printing when a customer on DEC Pathworks 4.0 ran WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS under Windows 3.0. This did not occur without Windows. Solutions: The customer discovered the following things: 1. He did not have the 3M of extended memory that Windows really likes because some of that memory had been reconfigured to expanded memory for use with Lotus. 2. Pathworks had not modified the .INI files. 3. The user had not set the network connection. To do this, the customer needed to go to Control Panel (in the Main Group), select Printers, then click on Networks, and set the network connection. In his case it needed to be LPT2, but he also needed to fill in the path. The syntax he used was \\service node\service name. The service node is equivalent to a network server and the service name is like the print queue.
