The problem here is probably that Windows 7 won't allow dynamic updates to occur to files in the "\Program Files" or "\Program Files (x86)" directory hierarchies. Any dynamically updateable data files should be stored elsewhere. (In fact Windows 7 has a file and registry virtualisation feature which should mean that any dynamically updated files in the above two locations should be transparently virtualised on a per-Windows user basis but unfortunately this does not always seem to work. It does not seem to be working for you.). In practice there are two main ways to avoid this problem: 1) Install Aspell outside of the "\Program Files" or "\Program Files (x86)" directories. Installing it to "C:\Aspell" would work or installing it to your Windows user profile would work (e.g. "C:\Users\username\Aspell"). 2) Leave Aspell where it is but move its dynamically updateable data files to a different location and tell Aspell to find them there. E.g. You could move de.pws to somewhere like "C:\Users\username\Aspell-Dictionaries". Hope that helps. -- Mark Rousell PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 _______________________________________________ Aspell-user mailing list Aspell-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user
