WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows Problems

The following information was taken from a WordPerfect InfoShare document
#1075 dated 7/94.

PROBLEM

One of the following error messages appears:
+  The *.BIF file could not be created or found.
+  Cannot initialize. Most probable cause is insufficient memory.
+  Unable to load menus.
+  WPWIN 60 caused a GPF in SHWIN20.DLL at 0007:07D8 (this address does not
change.)

CONCEPT

These error messages can be corrected by renaming the .BIF file. The
WPCSET.BIF file can be found in the C:\WINDOWS directory.

These errors with the .BIF file are scheduled to be corrected in the
interim release of WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows, WPWin 6.0a. If you are
experiencing these problems, WordPerfect will send you WPWin 6.0a. Please
call the WordPerfect orders Department at 1-800-321-4566 to place an order
for WPWin 6.0a.

SOLUTION

To rename the .BIF file,

1. Rename the WPCSET.BIF file as WPCSET.OLD or WPCEST.60A if you just
installed WPWin 6.0a.

The next time you start WPWin 6.0, a new WPCSET.BIF file will be created in
the C:\WINDOWS directory.

2. Start WPWin 6.0.
3. Choose Preferences from the File menu.
4. Double-click the File icon.

Listed below are the default paths for each section (assuming that WPWin
was installed to the C: drive).

Documents
  C:\WPWIN60\WPDOCS (unless you have another directory in which you store
your documents) Templates
  C:\WPWIN60\TEMPLATE
Macros
  C:\WPWIN60\MACROS
Graphics
  C:\WPWIN60\GRAPHICS
Printers/Labels
  C:\WPC20
Label File
  C:\WPC20\WP_WP_US.LAB
Hyphenation
  C:\WPC20

5. If all the directory paths are correct, click OK, then click Close in
the Preferences dialog box.

Once you have changed the *.BIF file, you no longer have a default printer
listed. You need to select a printer.

6. From the blank document screen, choose Select Printer from the File
menu. Highlight the desired printer, then click Initial; Font and select a
font. When your printer selection is complete, click Select.

If you have WPWin 6.0a, you will also need to run the Quick Correct macro
to setup that feature in WordPerfect.

7. Choose Macros from the Tools menu, then choose Play. Type QCSETUP, then
click Play. When the macro is finished, you will be prompted to restart
WordPerfect in order for the changes to take effect.

8. Make a backup copy of the new WPCSET.BIF file; place this copy in
another directory or save it on a diskette in case you have problems with
the new .BIF file.

If you have any questions about this procedure, please post a note in the
appropriate topic or forum area. Be sure to include your DOS version and
your model number (i.e., 2155-G82).
