Look for a .bif file in your Wordperfect folder. Rename it to .bak, .old, etc.; do NOT delete it! Try to start WordPerfect, if
it will start you'll need to reset ALL of your preferences; guess what was stored in the .bif file. If Wordperfect won't start
rename the .bif file back to it's original name. I don't know if this will work or not, but it can't hurt.
