Hello,
When I click on the spell check button on Outlook Express 6, I get the message: "An error occured while the spelling was being checked."
I have Windows XP Home Ed. It didn't have Word or Excel originally, but I have added Word 97 and Excel 97 to my computer.
Any idea? (and no comments about using a dictionary, please:) )
Thanks

Adrian,
According to Microsoft, the spell checker in OE should work if you have Word 97 or Excel 97 installed (unless you're using the 64-bit version of XP):

You might try reinstalling your office 97 programs, or try a newer version of the office programs.
Also, check out these articles for a possible solution:

Steve,
Thanks for your help. I will check out your suggestions.
I don't know if I have the 64-bit version or not.
My Windows XP version is: 5.1.2600
