Problem

Symptoms: A customer's computer locks when entering WordPerfect if this statement is included in the CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS.
If this statement is remarked out, then WP works fine. Solutions: The problem is specific to the Digital DEC computers running nonstandard hard drives. If the machine has a nonstandard hard drive, then you must load NONSTD.SYS DRIVER in the CONFIG.SYS in order to have it function properly with expanded memory device drivers or application software. To determine if the system contains a nonstandard hard drive, you must run Digital's SETUP program.
