Outlook express

[Charles]

Hello. I am not able to get "spell check" on my Outlook
Express. Whenever I send an email, a screen pops up
reading "Spell check halted on this document. Do you want
to send it anyway?"
I have been told because I've had my computer for a long
time as I have had outlook for a long time I may need to
update outlook express to get spell check. Can anyone
lead me in a direction or at least tell me how I can ask
this question to an actual person at Microsoft?
Thanks

The symptom you described typically indicates that a file

named Csapi3t1.dll is missing or corrupted, or that its
Registry entry needs to be fixed. Launch REGEDIT from the
Start menu's Run dialog and navigate to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools. In
the right-hand pane, find the value named SharedFilesDir.
Its data should be the location of the shared Office
files, and it absolutely must include a trailing
backslash, like so: C:\Program Files\Common Files\
Microsoft Shared\. If this value's data is not correct,
double-click on it and enter the correct value, being sure
to end with a trailing backslash.


If that doesn't help, the file may be missing or faulty. A
Google search on the filename will turn up a number of
sites from which you can download the missing file. Put
the downloaded file in the folder named Proof below the
SharedFilesDir value you identified in the previous step;
for example, C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof.
