WP9 - Spell check terminates with Visuall C++ runtime error

[FredWagner]

On Win2K with W2KSP2, WP9 Legal with patches, when user runs spellcheck, it checks all the way through the document, then blows out with VisualC++ runtime error on WPWIN9.EXE, then is back at the desktop. User has Admin rights. When I login as myself on the same station, spellcheck runs fine. According to domain admin, neither of us has any profiles/policies coming down from the domain login. Ideas, Please!!

On talking it over with my Network Domain experts,we decided the problem was in the local profile - deleted the local profile, created a new profile for the user, the problem disappeared. Later strange problems were traced to Dragon Dictate - errors in WP9 were coming up in Dragon.log - read the log, turned out that Dragon supplied with WP9 Legal is NOT compatible with Win2K. Uninstalled Dragon from PCs that were having the problem that generated the error. (it occurred when they were generating tables of Authorities in WP9). Dragon is working on the PCs where it is still installed.
