SYMPTOMS
Colors change abnormally in version 5.1 of WordPerfect running under MS-DOS
version 5.0.
CAUSE
This problem occurs if you load the EGA.SYS device driver in the CONFIG.SYS
file on a system with an EGA video adapter. When you installed MS-DOS 5.0,
the Setup program may have added the following line to your CONFIG.SYS
file:
device=c:\dos\ega.sys
This line may cause abnormal color changes in the view document or print
preview modes of WordPerfect 5.1 when loaded in conjunction with a
Microsoft Mouse driver.
RESOLUTION
To solve the problem, remove or remark out the EGA.SYS line in the
CONFIG.SYS file.
