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

Problem

Symptoms: The customer installed new motherboards and made other hardware changes to all the company's computers. The hard disks were reformatted and all the software was reinstalled. Since that time, the customer has received two error messages frequently: "Bad memory image of FAT" and "Divide Overflow." She only receives these messages in WP or when trying to enter WP. She does not get these messages with other programs. Solutions: The problems this customer is experiencing are not problems with WordPerfect. The problems are hardware problems. The customer is probably only having the problem in WordPerfect because WordPerfect is such a large program that it uses a lot more of the computer than most programs. WP uses more memory and also is large and uses a lot of disk space. WP pushes systems and so running wp will often time show you system problems that you wouldn't notice running smaller, less complicated programs.
