DocumentID: 642119

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

Problem

Symptoms: When using a TSR called SwitchLan by Equinox (software that allows a work group to share printers, files, and other resources) a customer's computer locks immediately when entering WordPerfect 5.1. Solutions: The reason the computer locks is because SwitchLan cannot define a single PC as a file server or provide peer to peer communications. The 03/09/92 release of WP has a built-in feature designed to eliminate the sticking Shift key problem (Interrupt 9h) which conflicts with the TSR SwitchLan. This problem did not happen with the releases prior to 03/09/92. The solution is to disable the keyboard interrupt with the /ND switch.
