WordPerfect Slower After Loading MS DOS 5.0 |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer reported that WordPerfect 5.1 was much slower after loading DOS 5.0. This was especially noticable when saving, exiting, or listing files. Solutions: Using the startup option /WS showed that the amount of workspace available was 271.62K of conventional memory. Renaming her AUTOEXEC.BAT file and running WP/WS then showed 303.8K available. With just a normal CONFIG.SYS and no AUTOEXEC.BAT, the program was much faster due to the additional workspace available. In addition, DOS 5.0 has the ability to load devices and programs into high memory. This may be another option. Some things which might help when troubleshooting this type of problem may include the following: 1. Use the /WS startup option to determine how much memory is available to WP 2. Try booting vanilla to see if the amount of memory increases and resolves the problem |
