Outlook Express, spell check not working.
 

If I try to spell check a word in an e-mail part way through typing I get an error message
'an error occured whilst spelling was being checked'

If I compose the e-mail then click on send I get a message saying
'spell check was halted, do you want still want to send'

Spell checking is working in Word & in Works, i'm guessing a registry glitch and thought I would try to reinstall OE6 but every time I follow the links on the MS website to reinstall XP2 it takes me to the updates page and I can get no further after it tells me that everything is up to date.:confused:

would I be able to repair OE6 using my XP CD??

show some ways of doing it.
Isn't there an option in Windows Update to display installed updates?

the google toolbar and google FF extensions have one built in too, trouble is you would need a browser open as well as OE lol

In the main my spelling is fine, anyone of my age will remember daily spelling tests at school. I like to auto run OE spellcheck to eliminate typo's etc,
Paul, those links will do the trick, have downloaded the dll and will have a go tomorrow.

Thanks to all.:tu:
