I've been looking around since you posted this reply. I guess MS took the KB
article away since it didn't seem to be an issue anymore.

What spell check are you using? The one from MS Word?

Is Picture It on your machine and do you use it?

If you are using the Word spell check, download and install this freeware
spell check. I use it and it may solve the issue.

When I compose an email in Outlook Express and then click on Check
Spelling,
I get a pop-up window titled, "Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0". The
widow
indicates, "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Picture It".
Then,
another pop-up appears with the same title and the following message,
"The

But Outlook Express never had a spell check of its own. Is Word installed?
If it is, you are using that spell check. Try the one I suggested. You can
always remove it.
