Outlook Express and spell checker

using Outlook express I click on send. Before it would run the spell checker, indicate issues and I would respond as needed. Suddenly (no clue what changed) when I send I get a message that the spell checker has been halted and would I like to send anyways. I tried turning the spell checker off and back on to no avail. ALso for information sake I had Office SP on it but I disliked it so deinstalled it and installed Office 97 - also no effect.

 

Hi ijusth
