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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer pressed Ctrl-Delete (Ctrl-Del) while in WordPerfect, and the screen said "Loading Desktop Overlays, Please Wait." He finally had to reboot to get out of this. By removing the line C:\PCTOOLS\DESKTOP /R /CS from his AUTOEXEC.BAT file, he was able to resolve the problem. Solutions: The above line in his AUTOEXEC.BAT file loads a program called PC Tools Desktop. The customer was loading Desktop using the /R option which makes it memory resident (TSR). Ctrl-Delete is a predefined hotkey sequence for Desktop. This starts the Desktop's Clipboard feature. The customer needs to redefine the hotkey in order to use the Ctrl-Del sequence in WP. To do this in Desktop, choose Utilities, Hotkey Selection, and change the sequence.
