DOCUMENT:Q156293 04-APR-1999 [exchange] TITLE :XCLN: Macintosh Spelling Checker Could Not Be Started Error PRODUCT :Microsoft Exchange PROD/VER:WINDOWS:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbusage ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client, version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When you use the spelling checker in the Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client, the following error message appears: The spelling operation could not be completed. The spelling checker could not be started. Some components are either missing or incorrectly configured in your Win.ini file. See your administrator. CAUSE ===== The Setup program for the Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client does not correctly install the English and Custom dictionaries when more than one hard disk is present. RESOLUTION ========== Copy both the English and Custom Dictionary files from the Microsoft folder to the Microsoft Exchange folder. MORE INFORMATION ================ If the Macintosh has more than one hard disk drive and it also has a Microsoft application (such as Office) with a spelling checker feature that is not installed on the startup drive, the Exchange client installs OK but the problem occurs during spelling check operations. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 4.0, of Microsoft Exchange. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
