#Strange Screen A3000
8 messages in this thread
Has anyone had problems with Word Perfect on a 3000? I am loosing the top
half of the first 5 to 10 characters on each line at the left side and they
are appearing partially one line up on the screen. Have an A3000 with 2
meg chip and 4 fast ram, a1950 monitor, two external drives. The problem
did not show until I removed a set of 1 meg fast ram chips and installed a
set of 4 meg chips. No other software exibits this proglem and it occurs
reguardless of what else is running. Text prints properly to any printer
and spell checker works fine. Files transferred to another machine (A2000)
are normal.? ??? Thanks in advance if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Dudley… regarding your Word Perfect's 'strange screen', same here, except
I am using a 2000 (AmigaOS 2.04) with GVP 68030, 4 megs fast and 2 megs
chip (MegaChip with a 2 meg Agnus).
I hate it. I completely re-installed Word Perfect after re-formatting under
2.04 and it is now considerably less than elegant.
My version of WP is 4.1.11. Anyone have ideas?

Thanks for your rapid response. Did not have time today to contact Word
Perfect, will let you know results. Seems to be the compbination of a
68030 chip, 2 megs of chip ram and 4 megs of fast ram. I did not have the
problem until i went to 4 megs fast ram. No other ideas at this point.
Yes,
Get another Word Processor or upgrade to WP 4.1.12. I use it and have
had no problems on my A500 w/6.5Megs and WB2.04.

I don't use WOrdPErfect, but I have found several of my older programs
don't like the overscan screens available in 2.0. Try setting your screen
size to a normal setting without any overscan and see if that solves the
problem. (And don't count on any help from WP)

Thanks for the quick response. I agree it may be in the overscan screen,
but WP behaved perfectly until the addition of ram. I have not used the
overscan screen sizes nor have I reset the sizes before this occured. I am
sure most fellow amiga users will be more friendly than WP but I will try.
I will post any results I get.
It's Upgrade Time!
You need to get a copy of WP 4.1.12, it should cost $9.72. I just got mine
this week and everything seems to be back to normal.

Thanks for your response Joe. I was in contact with WP yesterday and that
is what they concluded also. Since I had a defective copy of 4.1.12 and
could not re-install it they are shipping me a replacement and I should be
up and running soon. I might also add that I was able to access thier tech
support on the first try by phone, and their tech rep was most helpful. I
did however, mention my disappointment at the decision to abandon the Amiga
market. I will also be writing them to express the same concerns.
Thanks,
Dudley
