 I wonder if anyone else has had this problem:  when I use WordPerfect 5.1
from within Windows, the machine hangs when I try to view a document (using
shift-F7 etc). This only happens when I choose the 8514/a graphics adapter
(which I have  (;-))  but not when I choose  VGA to view documents (through
setup...).  Also the 8514/a graphics adapter works just fine when I use
WordPerfect from the DOS prompt, and not from within Windows....\
Any ideas?   Carl Riehm.
