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

Problem

Solutions: The error message "Insufficient Files To Run WP," requires that the customer check the following details:

Change to the drive where the CONFIG.SYS is being read from. Normally this will be the ROM drive called D:. When the customer boots up he will see four options:
1.      Works (Microsoft)
2.      Personal Software
3.      IBM DOS
4.      System Environment

Select the IBM DOS screen (3) and choose the option, "Customize How System Starts." Choose "Read CONFIG.SYS From Disk," and change the option "Disk to Read" to C:.

*It is very important that the user press Enter after making the changes, or the changes will not be saved.

The customer should then exit to DOS.

The user should rename the CONFIG.SYS on his C: drive with the command REN CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD. After this is completed, create a new CONFIG.SYS at the C: prompt that includes the following items:

C:\>copy con config.sys
files=26
buffers=35
install=D:\shellstb.com
^Z

The customer should reboot by turning his machine completely off and then turning it back on.

In most cases it is better to read the AUTOEXEC.BAT from the ROM chip or D: drive, and the following commands should be part of the AUTOEXEC.BAT:
CD\DOS
SHELLSTB.COM

Note: If the above steps are not followed correctly, the computer may not be boot. Attempts to boot the computer may cause the message "Bad Or Missing Command Interpreter" to appear. (A boot up disk is not shipped with this PC.) Users can reset all of the "System Startup" settings to the factory defaults by
      1.      Turning off the PS/1
      2.      Turning the computer on again while pressing both the mouse buttons.
This should return the cursor to the default built-in menu, from which the Startup configuration can once again be changed.
