Thanks, but I'm way past that point. I got the install patch from Corel, and the setup script you describe and used them both. I also upgraded the winelib from the Photopaint package. It all works fine - printing, fonts, everything except the Writing Tools. I've sent an email to Corel tech support, but I'm not holding my breath. :-( If anyone has WPO2000, and has spell check working, can they email me privately? I'd like to check which packages are installed on a working system. I might have somehow missed one.

I have the same problem and it started once I installed the Photo-Paint program. Before Photo-Paint all worked fine. Maybe there is some incompatibility problem. Avi Derek Fountain wrote:

Hmmm. I removed WPO2000, Photopaint and Toppage from my system, then did a fresh install of just WPO. I removed all files from my home directory which looked vaguely connected with Winelib or any of the apps, then tried Wordperfect again. It still doesn't work. :-( I'm kinda glad it's not just me, but that doesn't make it work! If Corel tech support respond I'll post what they say on this list. In the meantime, has _anyone_ got a working spell checker under Wordperfect 9?

Derek, I got the following reply on Corel's news group. I am still not sure how to run the pfreg.exe program. Maybe you will figure it out.

I copied the pfreg.exe program into the Writing Tools directory, but "Unregister and register the components"? What does that mean? FWIW, I actually got it to work last night on my laptop. I cleaned out WPO2000, Photopaint, Toppage, and every single configuration file I could find with 'wpo' or 'wine' in it's name. I then installed WPO, and it worked. I then installed photopaint, and it worked. I then did the upgrade of the WPO Wine libraries to those that come with photopaint, and it still worked. Looking good... I'd still like to hear an explanation and proper solution if you get one. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

<snip> Did you notice any performance improvement in updating the Wine Libs? I am finding WPO-2000 on Crash98 is a tad faster than it is on Tux & faster than WP-8 on Crash98 too.

It's a little quicker, but not much. However, the Wine libraries from Photopaint are more mature, so they've got rid of the silly bugs (like main windows sitting on top of dialogs) and a good number of the screen refresh problems. It's worth the upgrade in my opinion. Go and get Photopaint for Linux (start at www.corel.com) and install it. The graphic installer recognises the SuSE distro so it's dead easy. The new Wine libraries won't be installed. The first time you run photopaint it will tell you you should upgrade manually. Click the readme button to see how to do it. Basically you just install one more package as an upgrade: rpm -Uhv wine-wpo2000-glibc-2.1-2000.06.08.10.45-1.i386.rpm then wipe your existing config (fonts break if you don't do this): rm -rf ~/.wpo2000 They could have done this automatically, but it's probably sensible that they leave it to the user to decide whether they want to do it. You don't actually have to. Photopaint runs OK with the older Wine libraries from WPO2000. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
Derek, If you still have this problem, try the following. Please let me know if it worked for you. 1. Login as root 2. Go to /usr/lib/corel 3. Rename the Shared directory to Shared.xxx (make sure to rename the Shared with the upper case S!) Now try to run wordperfect. You should have your spell checker working now. Avi Derek Fountain wrote:

Since posting that problem I've reinstalled WPO2000 and Photopaint 9 on all my boxes except one, and all of those work OK now. I went to the remaining one and tried the fix you give below. Wordperfect refuses to start now - it gives and Unhandled Exception error... :-(
