WPCorp Programs Become Slow When Running Unde |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: WPCorp programs become extremely slow when running from Office Shell under Microsoft Windows 3.0. The following steps usually duplicate the problem: 1. Create an icon for Office to run under Windows Enhanced mode (use the full screen .PIF file that ships with Office). 2. Go into Office and run WordPerfect. 3. Swap into PlanPerfect. 4. Press Alt-Shift-Space Bar to check the memory map. Office should be showing WordPerfect swapped to expanded memory and PlanPerfect swapped to disk. (The problem seems to appear only when one is swapped to expanded memory and the other to disk.) 6. Go back into PlanPerfect and exit with F7. 7. Go back into WordPerfect. It should be extremely slow. NOTE: It can't be duplicated every time, but it is quite frequent. It only happens when running under Windows Enhanced mode. Solutions: The Enhanced mode in Windows is slower in connection with DOS and DOS applications. This is due to the manner in which Windows allocates memory in Enhanced mode. If speed is essential, this can be corrected by running Windows in Standard mode. You will lose all the special abilities of the Enhanced mode, but you will gain a noticeable speed increase. |
