Windows 3.1 and Non-Windows Applications |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The following tips come from the Microsoft Windows 3.1 User's Guide and may be helpful in running WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS and other non-Windows applications under Windows 3.1. 1. Most non-Windows applications can run in a window when Windows is in 386 enhanced mode. Non-Windows applications will not run in a window if Windows is in Standard mode. 2. With Windows version 3.1, non-Windows applications that are running in a window can use the mouse. To do so, a. Set up the mouse driver before starting Windows. Use MOUSE.COM in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or MOUSE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. b. For a Logitech mouse, follow the procedures in README.WRI. c. For any other non-Microsoft mouse, get an updated mouse driver from the mouse manufacturer. 3. When Windows is running in 386 enhanced mode, temporary changes can be made to the way a non-Windows application runs by using the Settings command on the application's Control menu. The changes stay in effect until the application is quit. 4. The Terminate option on the Control menu of a non-Windows application should only be used if the normal function key combinations do not exit from the program. This should be used only as a last resort, since it can result in lost data and Windows and DOS may become unstable. The benefit to this over using Ctrl-Alt-Delete is that if there are other applications running, Terminate allows you to go back to the other applications and save data before rebooting the computer. |
