No spell check

Yes I am running Outlook express 6
ver.-6.002900.2180 (xox-spe-stm.040803-2158)
Internet Explorer ver. 6.00.2900.2180 (xpsp-sp2-stm.040803-2158CO)
cipher strenght: 128 bit
update ver, SP2

Whenever I write a new message and try to use the spell check I get the error message. An error occurred while the spelling was being checked.
Please help.

 

Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with the following Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling command is not available. But you can download this as an alternative: http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/
or from Major Geeks:

Thanks for the reply.
I am using all of the programs that you mention, and spell check is working fine in all of them. Only have a problem in OutLook.

 

Can you clarify? Is the problem with Outlook or Outlook Express. And what does the error message say.

 

The problem is with Outlook Express 6, the error message reads as follows.
( An error occurred while the spelling was being checked.)
ver.-6.002900.2180 (xox-spe-stm.040803-2158)

Internet Explorer ver. 6.00.2900.2180 (xpsp-sp2-stm.040803-2158CO)
cipher strenght: 128 bit
update ver, SP2

 

Have a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=253351

 

I would be tempted to download the alternative checker I mentioned earlier and give it a try. Its not a big download and you could uninstall it if you are not happy with it. It is not a MS product but has been made specifically for OE and pulls its weight fairly well.
