We had some serious problems with MS Works 4.0, crashes, double letters,
slow..very slow but when I contacted MSoft and they sent me 4.0b two days
later all seems very good..NO problems on our 5200's or 5300's! You might
want to make sure all system files for the older versions of Works, 4.0 and
3.0, have been removed including any MSWorks Preference folder. Otherwise,
continue to look for extension conflicts.
