Cursor Movement Is Erratic On Older CGA Video |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer used to get snow on the screen until the /NF startup option fixed the problem. However, after using the /NF startup option, whenever the Enter key is pressed, the cursor goes to the bottom of the screen and then returns back to the line lower than where it should have gone. Solutions: This problem will occur with older CGA video cards that are not writing to the screen properly. WordPerfect supplies /NF which gives the card time to rewrite to the screen, which will fix this problem in most cases but may not in others. Since this is a hardware problem, there is not much more WordPerfect can do as far as the software. One customer with the 12/31 release was able to eliminate snow by setting Fast Save (Shift-F1, 3, 5) to "No." When updating to the 5/31 release, however, he needed to use the /NF startup option. |
