Outlook Express 6.00 - Spellcheck

[Bob Sleeman]

I have installed Outlook Express as part of the default
Windows XP Professional installation.

I have installed Word 97 and have a working spellchecker
as part of that install.

Outlook Express fails on spell check:
1) From F7 (Tools/spelling) error: An error occured
while the spelling was being checked
2) during send "the spellcheck on this documnet was
halted. Do you want to send anyway?

Have tried re-install of Outlook Express but problem is
not fixed.

No obvious fixes on technet - any ideas?

Please note for the future, this newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003(beta) from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

Yes I know what you mean I have the same problem, except the spellchecker

in word doesn't work either, I only oticed it not working when I downloaded
outlook express 6.0, if you find the answer please let me know.
