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...
