WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer has just installed an AST Rampage expanded memory board into a computer. WP functioned fine before the customer installed the card, but now an "I/O Card Parity Error" message appears when the customer tries to print. The error message "Can't Find WP.FIL" also appears when WP performs various functions (e.g., Setup, List Files, etc.). The customer is using REMM.SYS 4.41 in the CONFIG.SYS file. Solutions: The error "Can't Find WP.FIL" indicates a conflicting environment and shows that the EM driver may not be configured correctly or performing correctly (of course, this information only applies if an expanded memory device is loaded). The "I/O Parity" error comes from the hardware and indicates a conflict with I/O addressing or some type of system failure. This problem is possibly related to REMM since it is the new intercepting memory manager.
