Generation Causes WP To Lock |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Generating a Table of Contents causes lost allocation units on the hard drive. The system will lock and fill the hard drive. A CHKDSK will report "Errors Found..." and almost no disk space left. Another customer found that the generate process locks on Pass 1 on Page 113 of the user's document. The problem occurred if a base font code was placed between the [Mark TOC] and [End Mark] codes. WordPerfect locked up and the hard drive was filled up with virtual files. Solutions: This problem is corrected in the 03/30/90 release. There are no Software Change Notices associated with this problem. The problem the customer reported was caused by WP locking during generation. The lockup caused open virtual files to remain on the hard disk after rebooting the computer. This is normal. Under the current design of DOS, lost allocation units will be reported on the disk by the CHKDSK command. This seems to be more prevalent if the hard drive completely fills up with WP virtual files. The user can correct the "Errors Found..." message by going into WP and answering No to "Are Other Copies Of WP Currently Running?" or running the CHKDSK /F command (which is always a last resort). If you run CHKDSK /F you will still need to delete the FILE0000.CHK files created by running a CHKDSK. Otherwise, you will still have minimal disk space available. |
