Computer Locks While Running RPRINTER And WP |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is running WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS under Windows on a Novell network using RPRINTER (a Novell TSR). When the user tries to print, the message "Device Conflict Windows Is Attempting To Use LPT1: Which WordPerfect Is Currently Using. Win Message = 'Do You Want Windows To Take Control Of LPT1: - Yes Or No.'" If the user selects No, the document will print but RPRINTER is unloaded. If the user selects Yes, the document will not print, the printer starts beeping, Windows does not respond correctly, and the user must reboot. Solutions: Novell can duplicate the problem of Windows locking if older versions of the network shells are used. With IPX 3.04 shells, the problem cannot be duplicated. Microsoft reports that Windows 3.0 does not support third-party TSRs. RPRINTER has a tendency to make Windows more unstable. This is not a WP problem. If you use Windows in Enhanced mode with RPRINTER, do not multitask or switch between DOS applications. Novell's recommendation is to stay in full-screen mode; do not switch in the middle of the print job. Windows will have a tendency to lock if it's swapping memory between DOS applications and Windows itself while RPRINTER is loaded. |
