Locking When Starting WordPerfect |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
User's work station locks every time they try to start WordPerfect. They are trying to start from a command prompt (F:\WP51). The copy of WordPerfect is on a dedicated Novell NetWare 3.12 file server. |
Answer:
Removing a DOSDATA=UMB line from the CONFIG.SYS file and re-booting the work station allowed the user to start WordPerfect without locking. |
Details:
DOSDATA=UMB was probably added to the CONFIG.SYS by another program installation. The customer acknowledged that new programs had recently been installed at the problem work station, but could not be positive as to which one may have added the configuration line. The problem was specific to the one work station. Note: The user did have a local copy of WordPerfect installed that would start without locking. A relation between the local and networked versions of WordPerfect and a relation to the DOSDATA=UMB line in the CONFIG.SYS is not known. |
