no spell check

why does my spell check for outlook express not work
since installing XP

Do you have Microsoft Word installed? If not then that is the reason.
Outlook Express uses Microsoft Words spell dictionary.

Hope this helps

Greetings --

Outlook Express, as you've discovered, has no spell-checking
capabilities of its own. Instead, it relies upon the presence of
other Microsoft applications, such as the Office Suite, Word, or the
Works _Suite_ (which includes Word, not the regular Works). There are
also some 3rd-party shareware/freeware solutions available at any of
the many shareware sites on the Internet

Spell Magic seems well thought-of, though I haven't tried it myself:

lois;
It worked before you installed XP right? Re-install one of these Microsoft
Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Microsoft PowerPoint.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
