Hi,

I understand that whenever you send a mail, the system displays the message
'Spell check was halted'.

This behavior can occur if any one of the following conditions is true:

1. The value data for the SharedFilesDir registry value does not contain a
trailing backslash \ in the following registry key (that is, there should
be a backslash immediately after Shared Tools):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools


Absence of this trailing backslash prevents location of the Csapi3t1.dll
file and causes the spelling checker not to function properly.

2. The Csapi3t1.dll file, which is located in the Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof folder, is missing or damaged.

Please follow the steps below to identity the registry value:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor
can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and
Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete
Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in
Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it.
If you are running Windows NT or Windows 2000, you should also update your
Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

a. Click Start, click Run, type Regedt32 in the Open box and then click OK.
b. Double-click to expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder, expand the
Software folder, and then expand the Microsoft folder.
c. Double-click to expand the Shared Tools folder, and then click the
SharedFilesDir value.
d. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
e. Type C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ in the Value Data
box, and then click OK.
f. Quit Registry Editor.

If the Csapi3t1.dll is missing from your System, please copy the file from
a different system and save it to c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof folder.

Hope it resolves the issue.

Thank you,

Rashmi
