WordPerfect for DOS: Printing from Windows

If you use Windows 2000 or XP, and you have a printer connected to your computer through a parallel cable, and you can print from Windows applications but not from DOS applications, you may need to change a setting in the Windows control panel.

Use the Start Menu, then (depending on your system) either Settings/Control Panel or Control Panel; if you do not see System on the list, use the option in the upper left of the window to switch to Classic View.

Open the System control panel, go to the Hardware tab, click on Device Manager, and find Ports on the list; click on the plus sign next to the word "Ports" to expand the list; double-click on "ECP printer port (LPT1)", go to the Port Settings tab, and, if there is no checkmark in the box next to "Enable legacy plug and play," add a checkmark and click OK. Then close the Device Manager and the System control panel. (Information provided by Len Weber.)

W3DBSMgr.exe

(Pervasive Software)

Database Service Manager for Pervasive SQL 2000 Workgroup edition, also called the Database Engine or the MicroKernel engine. It runs on the workgroup PC which you have designated as the Pervasive SQL server and shows as an icon in the System Tray if it is started by the Startup Folder, otherwise there is no icon in the System Tray if it is started via the Registry.

Recommendation :
If you use Pervasive SQL, you need the Database Engine to be running, so you should leave this task alone. That said, the Database Engine, W3DBSMGR, has a tendency to crash or freeze the PC it is running on if it is started at boot-up via the Startup folder at the same time as other programs � our recommendation in this scenario is that you take the Database Engine out of the Startup and start it manually when all the other auto-started programs have finished opening.
