What version of wordperfect are you running ?

Problem

After clicking on File | Save (or Save As... or Open), nothing happens.

Answer:

Running PFREG.EXE resolves the issue.

Details:

To run PFREG in WordPerfect 8:

1. Go intothe Explorer into C:\Corel\Suite8\Programs
2. Click on the yellow file folder to display the file names
3. Click on PFREG.EXE
4. Click Edit and Copy (to put the PFREG.EXE file in the clipboard)
5. Still in Explorer, go into C:\Corel\Suite8\Shared\Components
6. Click on Components to highlight the name
7. Click on Edit and Paste
This will put the PFREG.EXE file in the Components folder
8. Double-click on the PFREG.EXE file
9. Click on Register
10. It will say that it registered 2 files. Close the Explorer.
Now the File | Open, File | Save and File | Save As will be available in WordPerfect.

In WordPerfect 9:
1. In Explorer, go to the \\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2000\programs folder.
2. Double-click on the PFREG.EXE file.
3. Click on Register to register the listed components

Note: This issue occurs if the CD was removed before the Configuration phase of the installation is finished. If the CD is removed before re-booting the computer, the suite can notfinish the configuration.

I am using Word Perfect 9.
Also the open file seems to lock up WP but not windows.
Save As still doesnt work. Have Re-Installed WP and same Problem crops up. Thinking about going to WordPerfect 2001.
