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

Problem

Symptoms: When using WordPerfect 5.1 on a Compaq 386DX computer, the customer can run fine with Windows in Enhanced mode. However, when running Windows on a 386SX computer, he can only run WP 5.1 in Standard mode. When the customer attempts to load WordPerfect under Windows, the computer locks up and is accompanied by a never-ending beep. Solutions: The following was added to the SYSTEM.INI file in the [386Enh] section:
EMMEXCLUDE=A000-EFFF
This fixed the problem. The customer then narrowed the problem down to area C400-C410. This is specific to his system. Another user with a similar problem would want to narrow it down as well because it might be a different area of memory that is having trouble.
