A hard drive failure required reinstall of Windows XP Home and
all my applications, including Word 97. I am using Outlook
Express 6.0 and am unable to perform spell check for out-going
messages. I get the error message "An error occured while the spelling was
being checked".
Spell check is functional for Word documents. Any suggestions?
