If your function keys do not perform their correct functions in WPDOS, any of a number of programs and settings could be the cause.
If Ctrl-F4 and other Ctrl-function key combinations do not perform correctly, you almost certainly have InterVideo WinCinema Manager or other InterVideo software running in the background, with an InterVideo icon in the Windows system tray the panel at the far right of the taskbar at the foot of the screen. To regain the use of the function keys, use the Windows Start Menu, then Run Restart your computer.
You will still be able to use the InterVideo software, but you will not be able to run it by clicking an icon in the system tray. If, in a similar way, if Alt-F5 or Alt-F10 does not perform its correct function, you probably have an ATI video card with software that interferes with Alt-F5 or an Acer computer with a backup program that takes over Alt-F Other programs may also seize control of function keys that you wish to use with WordPerfect.
I have no way of knowing exactly which programs are at fault. The only way to find out is to run the MSCONFIG program as described above, and test each program that is listed on the startup tab by removing its checkbox one at a time!
If you still cannot use the function key you want, run MSCONFIG again, restore the checkbox next to the program you tested, and clear the checkbox next to the program that follows it on the list; restart Windows. Continue until you find the program that has seized control of the function key.
When you find such a program, please leave feedback so that others can avoid the same problem. Note: If you are trying to create a shortcut to launch a batch file under Windows NT, , XP, Vista, or Windows 7, see the separate instructions below. What's a shortcut? In earlier versions of Windows, you were able to create a desktop shortcut for an application simply by dragging the application from its own directory to the Windows desktop.
This method does not work under Windows XP, because dragging a file to the desktop now copies the file to the desktop instead of creating a shortcut. Choose Create shortcut here Select New A dialog box will open with a blank field labeled "Type the location of the item" or something similar; either enter the full path of the application Help! What does a "full path" mean? Then click Next, and you will be prompted to enter a descriptive name for your shortcut; choose any suitable name you like.
Click Finish, and the new shortcut will appear on your desktop. Modify your shortcut according to the instructions on this page and on this site's main Windows page. On some systems, you may find that on the Misc tab, you cannot prevent Windows , XP, Vista, or Windows 7 from detecting the Alt-Esc key, although you can prevent it from detecting Alt-Tab and other keys.
I recommend the 8x12 bitmap font. For any other printing problems, see this site's list of troubleshooting techniques for printing from WPDOS under Windows. The Config. If the error message persists, try a larger number than 60 80 should be adequate, but you may need If WPDOS still does not run, or if it runs extremely slowly, see the section on sound card conflicts on this site's main Windows page.
If you do not know what a batch file is, you may ignore this section. The problem: Under Windows NT, , XP, or Windows 7, you cannot assign expanded EMS and extended XMS memory options for use by a batch file simply by right-clicking on the batch file in Windows Explorer and opening the file's Properties sheet which is the way these options could be set for batch files under Windows 95, 98 and Me.
For example, if you are a medical transcriptionist, and you want to use a batch file that runs Smartype or PRD and then WP, you should study your batch file carefully and write down the names and paths of all the programs that the batch file runs.
Then use Windows Explorer to find each of the programs in their own folders, and modify the program's memory options, as follows:. Before you begin, make absolutely certain that you have set Windows Explorer to display full filenames.
Then, in Windows Explorer, start with the first program listed in your batch file for example, ST. You can do this by using Start, then Run When you have found the program name, right-click on it, choose Properties, go to the Memory tab, and assign the largest possible amount of Expanded EMS Memory available.
Click OK and close the Properties sheet. Proceed to the next program on the list, making certain to perform this step for WP. COM or WP. EXE it doesn't matter which. When you are finished, run your batch file and make sure that everything is working correctly. One advantage of this method is that when you create a desktop shortcut icon for your batch file, you can right-click on the shortcut and use the Properties dialog to assign a "hotkey" shortcut key that will launch the batch file with one keystroke, and also switch back to WP with the same keystroke when you are using another program in Windows.
Note that this method may not work with all programs that can be run in batch files. If you encounter problems, use any of the remaining methods. Select highlight the name of the batch file, hold down the right mouse button, and drag the file to the Windows desktop. When you release the right mouse button, a menu will appear; choose "Create shortcut here You will see a new icon on your desktop, with a picture of a gear inside a window.
Right-click on the icon, choose Properties, go to the Program tab and place the cursor inside the Target field. Click in the field so that the filename is not highlighted, and move the cursor to the very start of the field, at the extreme left. If the filename disappears, click on Cancel, and start over from the point where you right-click on the new icon.
With the cursor at the extreme left of the target field, type in the following before the existing filename: command. BAT, or whatever was the name of your batch file. Wait a few seconds until the desktop icon displays the intertwined letters "MS-DOS" instead of the gear-inside-a-window symbol. On this and the remaining tabs, set memory and other options as described elsewhere on this site.
Use this shortcut to launch the batch file. Right-click on the new shortcut, choose Rename, and give the shortcut a name that describes your batch file. From the same right-click menu, choose Properties.
On the Program tab, under Cmd line or a similar name; definitely not under Batch file! COM file, then create and modify a shortcut for the. COM file. To make the conversion, first download this freeware utility Bat2exec. Place the program in any directory you choose. When you want to convert a batch file into a. COM file, copy the batch file to the same directory as Bat2exec. Replace filename. This will create a new program named Filename. Place this new. COM file in the same directory where the original batch file was located; for safety, rename the original batch file.
Now create and modify the shortcut for the new. COM file, specifying any memory that may be required, as described elsewhere on this site. You must also create a desktop shortcut for the DOS prompt or for your batch file; and you must enable EMS memory for DOS prompts ; and you must enable expanded memory in each shortcut that you create. If you need help, read this site's instructions for creating and modifying a DOS prompt and for creating and modifying desktop shortcuts.
By far the most effective way to prevent this problem is to install and use the Tame utility described elsewhere on this site. However, if for some reason you prefer not to use Tame, then you can reduce the effects of the problem by modifying your WPDOS shortcut in the following way:. Right-click on the WP shortcut icon or on the program itself in Windows Explorer if you do not have a shortcut icon ; select Properties; go to the Misc tab; and move the Idle sensitivity slider all the way to or near High on the right end of the slider.
This change may affect the performance of WPDOS itself, so experiment before choosing a semi-permanent setting. Under Windows NT, , XP, Vista, or Windows 7, a desktop shortcut for a DOS program cannot be launched from the hotkey assigned to the shortcut, although the assigned hotkey can be used to switch to a DOS program that is already running.
A hotkey is a combination of keys that launch or switch to a program, and may be specified in the properties sheet of a shortcut, on the Program tab.
