WordPerfect On A Nondedicated File Server Locks When Using A Mouse |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
When using a mouse on a nondedicated Novell NetWare 2.2 file serve, WordPerfect locks. It occurs most commonly when copying files. Sometimes the server also locks up as well at this point. |
Answer:
Remove the mouse from the file server. |
Details:
A nondedicated NetWare 2.2 file server is booted from a diskette. The diskette can be formatted with DOS 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x. Several programs are necessary to be run from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, all of which must reside on the boot diskette. If a DOS session is run on the server itself, that session is done after the server has finished booting. In this situation, NetWare actually simulates a DOS session at the server and allows you to log into the server and run the applications on the server. This problem has not been duplicated in-house. Novell does not suggest attaching mice to nondedicated file servers. |
