Outlook Express, spell check not working.

[iadom]

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.

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?

lern two spel.... [sic] j/k

using outlook express, iespell worked for me - plug it into that google monster & give it a go

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.
