First, I would remove Vampirefo, reboot and reinstall. (Never install a
program with your AV running).

That may not do it, but start with the easiest first, right? If you still
get the error, the first link here should do the job.

I use Vampirefo and it /should/ work fine for you

Spell Checking does not work in OE:

An error occurred while the spelling was being checked or: Spell Check was
halted:

Hello,

I, like apparently many, have French as the only option for Spell Check.

I then went to install Vampirefo. Rebooted, ran OE, and while I guess I
have English, I get a pop-up error:

An Error occurred while the spelling was being checked.

I can go into Tools / Options / Spelling, I see English (US). I can edit
custom dictionary (it's blank). Everything looks fine...other than it not
working. Should I uninstall Vampirefo and try the next option? Something
else I can try?

What if I uninstall Outlook 2007? I'm guessing no luck as the damage is
done, but I won't be using it anyhow.

thanks,
CB
