WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

The customer gets the error, "LC: Right Protected Directory of Already in Use C:\{WPC}{BK.BSW," when starting WP DOS 5.1+.

Answer:

This is offered as a troubleshooting step:
Remark SHARE.EXE (REM SHARE.EXE) in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and rebooted the computer. Starting WordPerfect will give the error message, " Are Other Copies Currently Running?" answer "No" to enter WPDos 5.1+. Remove the "REM" from SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, reboot, and the entered WP Dos 5.1+ without the orginal error. This was only a troubleshooting step and it is not known why or how it fixed the problem.

Details:

The *.BSW file is a Shell 4.0 temporary swap file. Shell generates these files when it can no longer swap to extended or expanded memory. These files remain on a user's disk if there are programs swapped to disk when the computer locks. Generally, Shell removes these files when the user restarts it. However, if the user changes the location of swap files with the /D switch the files may remain there until the user deletes them. Thus deleting these temporary swap files may also resolve the problem.
