Neighbor of mine running XP SP3, and Outlook Express under options,
spelling- Language, it gives French (
France) as the only option. Mine has 4 English, 2 French and 1 Spanish

Laptop came from Acer, with XP installed on it

Thanks

That is normal on new systems. Do a search for a spellchecker and install.

The problem is due to the new Office 2007, not either Windows XP or Outlook Express.
Office 2007 uses a spell checker that is not compatible with Outlook Express.
Best solution is to download one of several stand-alone spell checkers that are available for
Outlook Express.
Do a Google Search for "OE spellchecker" and you will find many.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

If you have an earlier version of Office available as well, see:
