I recently installed XP, formatting the disk first and restoring my data (imported Mail) from my old ME system. I find that when I try to spellcheck new message in Outlook Express, I get a message panel pop up "An error occurred while the spelling was being checked".
I have gor "always spell check outgoing messages" set; if I try to send a message, I get "The spell check on this document was halted. do you wish to send anyway?"
In Outlook Tools/Options/Spelling, I have got "always check spelling before sending"; "suggest spelling for misspelled words" and "English united Kingdom" (I have also tried US English, no improvement)
I had a look at "Install Windows Components" and Outlook Express is checked, it does not have a selectable detail for Spell Check, and I can't see it in other components either.
I have got MSWord in MS Office 97, spell check works in that.
Windows Regional and Language is English UK.
What might I try next?
