[comp.sys.ibm.pc] WordPerfect Problem

bg0l+@andrew.cmu.edu (Bruce E. Golightly) (07/29/89)

I've got one that someone out there may have a solution for, I hope.

I'm running a Zenith Z158, and have had WP4.2 up for some time. Everything
worked like a charm under 4.2. Recently, I upgraded to 5.0 and suggested
to my family that running through the tutorial would be a good way to get
 familiar with the changes. TO my dismay, TUTOR doesn;t work any more on
my machine.

After a number of calls to WP and Zenith, it turns out that there is a
BIOS incompatibility problem lurking out there. WP has acknowledged the
problem, but says they don't expect a fix to be released for this. Zenith,
although interested, has no solution either.

The exact problem is really trivial in some ways. TUTOR works OK until you
attempt to exit. At that point, some disk activity is observable (presumably
writing out the record of what level has been completed, etc), the cursor is
homed, and the system hangs at that point. A warm boot is required to regain
control from this point.

Anybody out there got a fix for this one?
