symptom

GW cannot load spell checker resource module.

Two different machines were getting the error "cannot load spell checker resource module" when trying to spell check an E-mail.

cause

We used a utility called FILEMON.EXE to glean the information for the work-around in this document.

fix

By using the utility FILEMON.EXE available at www.sysinternals.com, we came to find that GroupWise was looking for some files with a 12.3 file name vs. an 8.3 file name. We had removed GroupWise from the machine, however the problem still did not go away.

We could have re-formatted the hard-drive of the machine, however we decided to do the following to work around the problem. Rename the Writing tools DLLs that were being called with an extra 4 charachters added to the name. So for example GroupWise was trying to look for a file called WTSP61MSuiop.DLL so we renamed the WTSP61MS.DLL file to WTSP61MSuiop.DLL and that resolved the problem.

NOTE: Deleting HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WritingTools fromt the registry did not resolve this problem.

note

Re-installing the GroupWise Client from another Software Distribution Directory solved the issue for one customer.
