Displaying In Color When Actually Using A Mon |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: Problem A customer running on a IBM PS-2 Model 50 computer with a VGA monochrome graphics card was receiving a color Text Screen Type setting when using Auto- Select. Upon exiting other programs that use color or EGA, WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS would also display in color. When the user would reboot the machine and then enter WP he would receive the proper monochrome settings. Answer The reason that the Text Screen selection comes in as color is because there isn't a monochrome VGA text driver. The programs the user was running changed the configuration of the system to color mode. Then when the user entered WP after running these programs, WP looked to the system for the configuration it reports (color). One can get around this problem by putting the DOS MODE MONO command in the batch file for WP. This will change the system configuration prior to entering WP. By changing the configuration, the user will be able to report a mono setting to WP and the screen display will be as he desires. Development is aware of this problem. If this situation arises again, please log an Enhancement Request regarding a monochrome text driver that would allow WP to use the mono setting by default instead of reading the system. |
