[comp.windows.ms] WordPerfect 5.0 and Windows 3.0

I hope someone can help with a strange problem.

After loading Windows 3.0 (and finding that WIN.INI did *not* recognize
PIF files, as the documentation said it would -- I fixed that), I found
that four of my six non-Windows applications worked fine.  The two that
didn't were Lotus 1-2-3 and WP5.0.  When I try to open these applications,
the screen blanks, then displays the opening screens of the programs *very*
briefly, then bounces back to Windows, where it displays the message
that the application has violated system integrity, and I must exit
and reboot.

Does anyone have a clue?  I'm using the default PIF settings suppliied
by Windows, have HIMEM in the config.sys file, and have 4 megs of RAM
to play with.  No other applications are running when I run either
123 or WP.

If anyone can help, please EMAIL an answer to:

If anyone else is interested in the answer, let me know, and I'll
forward any I receive to you, or post them.

Thanks!
