lost outlook express spell checking

[Mike]

I lost the ability to spell check in Outlook Express. I
have Office 97 installed. It shares the Word spell
checker. It was working fine. I find in the knowledge
base the cause of the problem but not how to fix it.

Thanks, for your help in advance.

OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an MS
Office program or you can download a free spell check at one of these
sites.

Go here, and scroll down to the "Spellchecker" section.

He stated that Office 97 is installed, so that should make Spell Checker
work.

That's why I posted 3 links that at least one should solve the
problem.

Hi Mike,

Common issue between Office 97 and XP. Easy fix:

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/EXPAND X:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL (Where X is your
CD-Rom drive letter). And then copy it to: Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

Or download the file here: Replace the Csapi3t1.dll file

An error occurred while the spelling was being checked.

Checkpoint: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools

In the right pane where it reads: SharedFilesDir, verify that it reads:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared under Data.

That won't help.

problem.
