Hello
        a.. This error can occur if the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Shared Tools\SharedFilesDir has a missing
backslash.
          1.. Using regedit navigate to:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Shared Tools

          2.. The value for 'SharedFilesDir' should have a trailing back
slash. If this is missing then add it. Typically the value for
'SharedFilesDir' is:
          C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\

        Apparently this can prevent "Csapi3t1.dll" from being located and
hence the spell check fails. For more information and a complete walk
through see
http://support.earthlink.net/mu/1/psc/img/walkthroughs/windows_9x_nt/email/oe_5.0/2765.psc.html.

        a.. The directory indicated by "SharedFilesDir" (see point above)
should contain a directory called "Proof", this should contain (amongst
others) the files Csapi3t1.dll and either Mssp232.dll or Mssp2_en.lex. See
the Microsoft Knowledge base article Q224176.
        a.. A little old but for an excellent article on this problem see
http://www.okinfoweb.com/moe/general/gen_030.htm.
        a.. Some of the registry keys used in the process may contain short
versions of the path. Even if these are correct it may break the process.
          1.. Using REGEDIT navigate to:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\Spelling

          2.. Under here these will be one or more four digit keys. Each of
these digits indicates a possible locale for which the system has been
configured. To identify which locale is applicable for you look the
(decimal) number up in the the table available on this link. Common values
are:
          1033: English (United States)
          2057: English (United Kingdom)

          3.. Navigate to
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing
Tools\Spelling\NNNN\Normal

          where "NNNN" is the appropriate four digit (decimal) locale value.

          4.. Under here look at the values for "Dictionary" and "Engine".
If either of these are defined using the shortened form of directory
specifier, eg
          Dictionary = C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\Proof\MSSP2_EN.LEX

          Then replace this with the long form, eg

          Dictionary = C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof\MSSP2_EN.LEX

          Repeat this for 'Engine' also.

          This can cure the problem even if the shortened form of the path
is correct.
