I have been using an XT with a 20mb hard drive and 640k memory for many years without a problem, but lately, while using the WP50 and WP51 software, the keyboard has frozen and I have had to reset the computer, losing some text each time. This has happened 4 times in an hour today, on both the 5.0 and 5.1 versions. The cursor continues to blink, but nothing else happens, no matter what i hit on the keyboard. I have some theories, related to filling up the hard disk (it has about 2.5mb free), or maybe the addition of some new software to the hard disk (including and a fax program), but would be interested in any suggestions or insight here. I did not notice this problem using other programs, by the way, but 70% of my computer use involves word perfect. Thanks, GMS
