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

Problem

Symptoms: Users' computers lock up immediately when trying to load WordPerfect 5.1, release date of 03/09/92. This occurs only if a TSR called SwitchLan is installed. SwitchLan by Equinox, is software that allows a work group to share printers, files, and other resources. However, SwitchLan cannot define a single PC as a file server or provide peer to peer communications. Solutions: WP 5.1 release date of 03/09/92 has a built-in interrupt feature designed to eliminate the sticking Shift key problem (Interrupt 9h). This new feature seems to conflict with the SwitchLan TSR. After disabling the keyboard interrupt by using the /ND switch, the problem was solved. Please see the SCN for more information.
