I've come across a rather unusual problem; Wordperfect 5.1 locks up on 12 Mhz V-20 based PC's. Here is the configuration: Juko ST-12 Motherboard with 640K memory; 20mb Kyocera KB-20 Hard drive with WD XT-GEN controller Compex ANET-1 ARCNET card (machine is part of a network) Mono graphics w/printer port The real puzzler is, the machine runs WP 5.1 fine at 6 mhz, but locks up the machine when run at 12. This is a "hard" lockup, requiring hardware reset or poweroff. I have reported this bug, but only recieved the standard "your machine is not IBM compatable" bull. This is the ONLY software package that I have come across that does this, and the machine runs LOTS of other software just fine. If anyone has come across WP 5.1 freezing their V-20 based machine, let me know if there is a fix, or better yet a reason. I'm buffaloed! Jon
