Default Outlook Express Spell Check Failure

Having had to re-install from a formatted hard drive I now have a spell
checking problem with OE6.
If sending (spell check set to auto check before send) I get the error
message; 'The spell check was halted on this document. Do you want to send it
anyway?'.
If using the Tools menu Spelling command (or pressing F7) I get the error
message; 'An error occured whilst the spelling was being checked'.
Any ideas?

OE does not have a spell checker, it uses MS Word or Works, did you
reinstall either of those yet?

Default Outlook Express Spell Check Failure

During the re-install I also installed MS Office 97 Professional. This was
the setup I had installed for the last 4 years until the crash. Worked fine
up to the crash.

For Office/Word97 on WinXP, this seems to be the common cause:

If you do have MS Office programs or works 4 to 6 installed then see:
