    Hello guys and girls,

    With the above mentioned text programs (Word Worth and Final Writer) I've got a few problems.

    Can anybody tell me what I should do after installing these programs to get them working properly?

    Out of my head I have had the following problems:

    - Printing black on white is reversed, sothat I get white letters on a black background.
    - Problems starting FW, a system lockup occurs.
    - I don't see the toolbars correctly.
    - I can't see the letters what I'm typing.


    Thanks in advance! :-)

    With FW I had under 1.3 no major problems, just minor ones (e.g. white mouse-cursor on white background), so I have no idea why it crashes at you, sorry.

    WW I'm not using mywself, but you could try one or more of the following things:

    - delete your old WW-prefs and configure them new
    - use a 8 bit screen
    - set the tooltype Picasso=true
    - set the ENV-Variable forcechunky=0
    - load a picture for the background to see the text

    @Spidey

    FW does not have that problem here. Please run SnoopDOS, that should help.

    For WW, I would try running it on an 8-bit screen prior to printing. I seem to remember something about that concerning several programs and gfx-cards...
