corel wordperfect 8 and windows 98se

[Manny Patel]

Hello,

I have the Academic Edition of Corel Wordperfect 8 which worked fine on
my older Windows 95 system. Now that I have a new system with Windows
98SE, is it possible to use the same version? I have tried to install
it (more than once!) apparently successfully on my new system, but
whenever I start Wordperfect the system hangs momentarily before it
kicks in. There is always a delay of about 10 seconds before the cursor
starts to blink and I am allowed to type.

Are there any updates/revisions that I need for a successful
installation? Or do I have to purchase a whole new version for Windows
98SE?

Thank you.

ps. I have already installed all the updates/modifications from the
Corel site to bring my original copy up to date, to no avail.

I am sorry this email is so long! Thank you.

What you already have _should_ work just fine, suggesting something is
particular to your configuration.

Please tell us about your system -- network or standalone, amount of RAM
memory, amount of free space on the hard drive, CPU, large applications
running in the background, etc.

You might also check your \TEMP and/or \WINDOWS\TEMP directories and clear
out any orphaned .TMP files and files starting with a tilde (~) in the name
or extension. Orphaned files have time/date stamps unrelated to the
current windows session.

If the version of your Suite 8 is 8.0.0.153 (I believe that the last
three digits are correct, in any case less than 8.0.0.225) your version
of the suite will not run correctly on Win 98, Win ME, Win NT nor Win
2000. You'll need to order a replacement CD from Corel Customer Service
at 800-772-6735. Cost is $9.95 US/Cdn for shipping/handling. You can
check to see which version it is by opening the file VOLINFO.TXT found
in the root folder of the Suite CD.
