SYMPTOMS
If you install the Keyboard Enhancement Option in WordPerfect's Repeat Performance (RP.SYS) in the CONFIG.SYS file, you cannot run MS-DOS applications under Windows version 3.0 or 3.1.

If you are using Windows 3.0, the following error message is displayed when you try to run an MS-DOS application:

Insufficient memory

If you are using Windows 3.1 and you run a full-screen MS-DOS window or other MS-DOS application, your system may stop responding (hang). No error message is displayed.

CAUSE
Repeat Performance adds the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

  DEVICE=c:\rp.sys=on repeat=70 delay=20 turbo=70 ctrl turbo=120 buffer=on size=200

WORKAROUND
Removing this line may allow you to run MS-DOS applications from within Windows without receiving the &quot;Insufficient Memory&quot; error.

In addition, you can type &quot;RP OFF&quot; before entering Windows to disable Repeat Performance. On exiting Windows you can then type &quot;RP ON&quot; to activate Repeat Performance.
