Registry error when running spell check in GroupWise

[Alain Kelder]

Just finished troubleshooting this for one of our users and wanted to
share what I found since I got a few minutes and there was a ton of
misleading info posted on this subject.

Product: GroupWise 5.5.3 with Enhancement Pack
Platform: Windows 2000
Problem: GroupWise reports a registry error when running spell check

I tried the fix recommended by Novell in TID 2929444, but it didn't
work. So since spell check worked fine on my machine, in the interest
of saving time I just duplicated the spell check registry settings my
box had:

1. Copied WT61US.UWL from my machine and put in the root of C:\ on the
problem machine
2. Imported HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\User Word List on the
problem machine
3. Imported HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Novell\Spell Checker on the
problem machine

Ran GroupWise (without restarting) and spell check worked just fine.

I threw the WT61US.UWL file and my registry exports up on my site
ftp://ak4life.com/ so you're welcome to use them if ya wish.

Yo, visit mah site, damn it!!
