MS Series (MW/MV) Internet Mail and Spell Check Errors

An issue has been identified with the Apricot MS series systems (MW/MV) whereby the spell check function in the Microsoft Internet Mail application will fail, reporting that

"The spelling check could not be started. Some components are either missing or incorrectly configured."

The problem is down to an entry in the Windows 95 Registry pointing to the wrong location for the default spell-check dictionary. The Windows 95 registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Custom Dictionaries\1

Is set incorrectly. The key value should read

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\proof\CUSTOM.DIC

As manually editing the Windows 95 registry can be the cause of other errors if incorrectly done, we have produced a fix for this problem that will update the Windows 95 registry with the correct value. The fix can be downloaded from file area 41 of the Insight BBS (0121-717-0444) or the Insight BBS Web Site (http://bbs.mitsubishi-computers.com). The file is called MS_SPELL.EXE, and contains a README.TXT file to explain how to implement the fix, and the corrected registry entry in a file SPELL.REG.
