The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is not able to run WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS in Graphics mode in a Windows 3.1 window. Solutions: The customer corrected the problem by setting the graphics driver in Windows Setup to VGA and by changing the graphics driver in WP from ATI 800x600 to IBM VGA 640x480 16-color.

How/Why:
You cannot run a DOS application in a Windows 3.1 window at a higher resolution than what Windows is running at. Trying to do so will produce the message "The application cannot be run in this mode."

The same error results when trying to run a graphical DOS application in a Windows window if Windows is using a special Windows accelerator card and driver (e.g., ATI Graphics Ultra Pro and the Mach 32 driver). The error results because display cards cannot run two Graphics modes at the same time.
