problem

Windows Mail comes with the default language for spelling checks partly set
to English, but not enough to work. To correct this, click on Tools, then
Options, then Spelling, then the triangle to the right of English, then some
other language, then Apply, then the triangle again, then English, then
Apply
again, then OK.
 
I, too am having the problem of "launguage no longer available" window
popping up when I try to spell check a windows email before sending it. I
looked at the fixes posted here, and none seem to work. I tried de-selcting
english, selecting another launguage, then doing it again and selecting
Englisha again, but nothing works. I see other posts that after selecting
English, ther is an "OK" and "Apply" box to click, but these do not appear on
my screen when I select spelling from the options screen in Windows Mail.
Assuming I must click these selectionsd, is there a problem that they don't
show up on that screen? Appreciate any help. TIA.
 
Gary,

Your fix worked, but getting to it was another problem. It took me a while
to figure out that the "apply, and "OK" buttons were hidden behind the task
bar, and I finally found how to hide the task bar to reveal these buttons.
IMHO, the window to change languages in spell check is too large, with too
much white space. Once I got to it, we changed languages, then changed back,
and now spell check is working normally. Thank you.
 
Those buttons are only 2/3 of the way down the screen for me.
Perhaps you are running at too low a screen resolution.

I'm having similar problems - when I go to the spelling it advises me that it
doesn't recognise the language - no other options are available to me within
this sphere. I've tried changing the language from English too but that
doesn't seem to work either. The advice offered so far I've tried but to no
avail. Any other ideas? They would be greatly appreciated

If this doesn't work, we'll need more information on what went
wrong when.
 
In this newsgroup, typing messages in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
is considered the same as shouting, and should be done only
if you want fewer people than usual to read your messages and
think about answering.

start Windows Mail, click on Tools in its main window, then

want it to always do a spelling check of outgoing messages and
there is no checkmark in the box before Always check spelling
before sending, click on this box, then Apply again. Click on OK.

If you'd rather check spelling in only part of the outgoing messages,
start those messages as usual, but just before you are ready to
click Send, click on the ABC checkmark.
