This article was previously published under Q156293



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.

Additional query words: 4.0
