"The spelling check is complete" keeps popping up

[Anabelle]

When I try to create a new email in Windows Mail the "Spelling check is
complete" window keeps popping up. When I hit OK it comes back up again
straight away, constantly and so I am unable to create any new emails because
of this. Has anybody come accross this problem before? Any suggestions on
how I can get rid of it would be appreciated.

I've never heard of that particular problem.
Which antivirus are you running? Some of them are not compatible
with Windows Mail.

I am running McAfee antivirus. I also did a full scan and it has detected no
viruses. I have also just noticed now that the same thing is happening in
Word when I try to type a document .... the spell check will keep opening up
automatically.

I'm groping in the dark here, because this is a new issue for me.
The only suggestion I have is to do a trial uninstall of McAfee,
followed by using their special removal tool:

You can always reinstall McAfee if it is not the culprit.

Hello!

After a few teething problems, if you go into tools & options, you will see
spelling on one of the tabs. If you open the tab and tick the box "spellcheck
before sending, "this should resolve the issue on UK servers. I tried it
myself and it worked. Will probably work on overseas servers too. Do let me
know how you get on.

Hope that this helps.

Linda.
