Re: abiword won't load properly

Hi

I'm not a regular AbiWord user and had not got round to installing it on
my new PC. However, as I'm also using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit here,
I decided to try to see what happened in response to your post.

Everything seems to have installed OK. The only failure during install was
not picking up the English GB dictionary but that installed OK separately
afterwards.

I probably won't be able to help with intelligent suggestions but happy to
react further if there's anything else you would like investigated. Note
though this was a clean install as no other versions had been on my
present PC.
