SUMMARY

The original version of Alki Software Corporation's Comprehensive Spelling Dictionary for Microsoft Word for Windows version 2.0 will not install if your computer has between 32 and 64 MB (megabytes) of available hard disk space. After you begin to install this software, the Install button will be unavailable (dimmed).

MORE INFORMATION

This problem has been confirmed by Alki Software Corporation. An updated version of this software that corrects the problem is available and can be obtained by contacting Alki Software Corporation.
