Spelling

[Ron]

When trying to send a msg or mail and click the check mark box, it says "An
error occured while spelling was being checked". I have MS Word installed; I
thought it used it's dictionary. How do I get a spell checker to work?

This KB article has information on that problem:

Spelling checker does not run on message in Outlook Express 5

I'm sure you'll get more answers if you post your question in the Outlook Express newsgroup.

You are probably missing CSAPI3T1.DLL in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF

You can expand it from CSAPI3T1.DL_ in the \i386 directory on your WinXP CD.
Go to Start | Run and type this command:

expand x:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL

Where X: is your CD drive. Then move it from the root directory of C: to
the PROOF folder. Some people also have to put it in the Outlook Express
program folder.
