Thanks for the help. For those with a similar problem, remove and
reinstall the program interfering with spell check. It just worked for
me.

Was the digital suite a trial version?

Your problem sounds like a variation on this:
Clicking Send or Running Spell Check in OE Runs Installer for Picture
It

Outlook Express program does not come with a spell checker. It will
use the spell checker from any of several Microsoft 32-bit programs.
For Word/Office, that would be versions 95 through 2003. Version
2007 is not compatible with OE. For Works, that would be versions 4
through 6. If using Works 4.0, a registry change is required. The
Works 7+ spell checker is not compatible with Outlook Express. There
are also some freeware/shareware spell checkers that may work (see
the URL in my signature).

Not that I know of, unless my wife ran something, which is very
unlikely.

Did you by any chance run some sort of Registry Cleaner Utility
between the time that all was working and now?

When I try to use spell check this message pops up:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other
removable disk that is not available.
Insert the Microsoft Digatal Suite Anniversary Edition and click
OK."

After getting rid of the message, another one pops up stating the
inability to complete the spell check.

I had downloaded the Digital Suite months ago. No problem until
now. I have the same setup on another laptop and spell check works
fine. Both systems are XP Media Center 2002

Any ideas?
