WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Solutions: A customer was having a problem with WordPerfect slowing down the longer he stayed in the program and the more he used various functions. He found that by changing the speed in his BIOS setup, his problem was fixed. He was using a DFI (Diamond) 286 computer with a Phoenix BIOS. To change the speed with this computer, he first rebooted with Ctrl-Alt-Del, then while the machine was rebooting he pressed Ctrl-Alt-Esc to go into the BIOS setup. At that setup, his speed was set to "No Change." Apparently that set the speed to 6 megahertz. He used the arrow keys to change the speed setting to high, which set the computer to run at turbo (12 megahertz). This corrected the problem.

Some customers have used these steps to turn off the "turbo" on this computer so that the File Extraction Error would not appear when running WordPerfect 5.1 for Windows.
