Word 5.50: Parity Error With Paradise EGA 480 Autoswitch

PSS ID Number: Q68103 Article last modified on 11-02-1994

5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

It has been reported that a “Parity Error” message may occur when starting Word version 5.50 on a computer with a Paradise EGA 480 Autoswitch video adapter card.

Setting the autoswitching feature of the Paradise card to Off seems to allow Word 5.50 to run correctly.

The Paradise EGA 480 adapter card includes a feature called autosense or autoswitching that is built into the card. This is enabled and disabled by a DIP switch on the back of the video card. For additional information concerning the Paradise EGA 480 adapter, contact Paradise technical support at (800) 832-4778.

Microsoft has not tested this configuration with Word 5.50 and therefore cannot guarantee its results.
