I have installed WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. The problem is, it sits as a
folder on my desktop and doesn't provide an Icon to run the program. Nor
does it appear in my program directory so that I can select and use it.
Will 5.1 not work on a Millenium PC? Do I need to download a driver to make
the program work? Where would I locate the appropriate driver?

Also when installing the program my printer was not in the list of printers
included in the software package. My printer is an HP DeskJet 932C. How do
I get the installation to recognize the newer printer?

I have a Gateway Essential 866 Millenium PC. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

This really isn't the appropriate newsgroup for this question, but:

If you open the folder on your desktop, is there a file displayed named
"WP51" or "WP51.exe"? If so, double click on it and WordPerfect should run.

Note that this is just a guess, as I don't have WordPerfect for Dos or
Windows here...
