Outlook Express 6.0 Spell checker

[Ray Hagen]

While attempting to send a completed message and having
Spell checker selected to check before sending I get the
following message; " The spell check on this message was
halted. Do you want to send anyway?" The selections are
properly checked to have spell checker to check spelling
before sending.

I also have the CUSTOM Dictionery set in Microsoft WORD-
97 & MS Excell. It works OK there.

What do I do next?

Thanx, Ray Hagen

To resolve this behavior, use Registry Editor to verify that the
"SharedFilesDir" string value has a value data with a trailing backslash
in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools

For example, the SharedFilesDir value should contain the following value
data:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
