Why don't you give us a hint about what's troubling you instead of just
the flames ?

Some suggestions:

	Are you running v1.6 or 2.0 or the StarCard CP/M implementation ?
	v2.0 is much nicer and might help you out, and it's still available
	from PCPI ~$40.

	Try 'genning up the software 70-column mode and see if that works.
	The new WS might hate your 80-column card.  If that works we can
	address the 80-column card problem next.

	You've got a supported product now - have you called MicroPro yet ?
	You won't be alone because they sold oodles of those things...

	Have you INSTALLed the WS yet ?  Last time you bought it it came
	ready-to-go...
