    TITLE:  Invalid Page Fault, Corel WordPerfect 7

    ISSUE

       When attempting to run Corel WordPerfect 7 on an Advantage! Atlas
       system, after reinstalling from the blue OEM Corel WordPerfect 7
       Suite CD, the application window will begin to appear, followed
       closely by an illegal operation statement:

           "WPWIN7 caused an invalid page fault in module
            PFMK70.PFC @ 0137:37ec36ec."

       No reinstallation or combined removal and reinstallation from the
       CD, will resolve this error.

       This issue affects all Adventure! systems.

    BACKGROUND

       See the ACTION section below.

    ACTION

       There are two fixes to this issue:

       1. Run a Hard Disk Restore with the current Hard Disk
          Restore floppy/CD kit for the system, according to the
          Advantage! matrix.

       2. Obtain the updated Corel WordPerfect Suite 7 CD
          (retail version) from Corel by calling 1-800-77COREL
          (1-800-772-6735) and requesting it.

    NOTES

       The OEM installation CD contains an older version of the Corel
       WordPerfect 7 executable (WPWIN7.EXE) than is found on the
       current restore CD. Corel has a knowledge base article
       referencing this error and relating it to this older software
       build. See Corel Knowledge Base document ID# 9320.HDI Corel
       Build: 7.0.2.19. Corel OEM CD Build: 7.0.0.2327.
