Eventually, the WP7 setup routine ran to completion (displaying several error messages along the way), but then WordPerfect crashed while loading.įinally, I called the “premium” technical support line.

I tried re-installing the software several more times, and then re-installed Windows 95 again, and then re-installed WP7 again. Once again, the installation software locked up, but thankfully I was able to restart Windows 95. I then tried re-installing WordPerfect Suite 7.0 on my now “virgin” system and once again, after de-selecting the unwanted modules, I waited while it copied software onto my hard disk and then began configuring Windows 95 to work with the software.

(This was all done on a brand-new Pentium 133 system purchased on January 2, 1996.) After a night’s rest and careful consideration of the options, on Sunday morning, I surrendered and re-formatted the hard disk, and re-installed Windows 95 from scratch. Then, from about 9:00 to midnight on Saturday evening, I tried every option I could think of, yet nothing worked.

Since I didn’t want the “Presentations” or graphics modules, I selected the check-box items to not load those modules. on Saturday evening, and ran the setup program. I inserted the CD-ROM in my computer at about 6:00 p.m. This past Saturday, I found WordPerfect Suite 7.0 on the shelf at CompUSA in Newark, and I bought a copy.

Finally, a few months ago, Corel bought WordPerfect, and over the past few weeks I have seen a number of ads for WordPerfect 7.0 but I couldn’t find it in the retail stores where I usually shop, and Corel never sent an upgrade notice or offer in the mail. Unfortunately, the release of new software was delayed while Novell sought a buyer for WordPerfect Corp., which Novell decided it should never have purchased. Ever since I upgraded to Windows 95, I have waited for a new version of WordPerfect that would support the new Windows 95 features (and which wouldn’t crash occasionally, as WordPerfect 6.1 does under Windows 95).
