spell check halted

[Joe R]

I have vista home premium and windows mail version 6.06000.16386 and i get
the spell check halted message when i try to send emails. this just suddenly
started. i tried the english/french/english switching idea via tools with no
success. i keep my upgrades uptodate automatically. any more solutions
available?

The easiest way to fix that is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

I just tried that and it did not solve the problem. Please help me.

You got the exact same error message in Windows Live Mail as you
did in Windows Mail?
Which antivirus are you using?

 

[Joe R]

Yes - the exact same message. I am using AVG free version - the same as I
astasrted with when I bought my computer with Vista. No change there.

Chances are, AVG antivirus was installed with its default install option.
If so, uninstall it, then reinstall, but select 'custom' install, which then
allows you to unselect installing its troublesome email scanning module.

While AVG is uninstalled, try Windows Mail again, just to verify that
the culprit has been found.
