I've been looking around since you posted this reply. I guess MS took the KB
article away since it didn't seem to be an issue anymore.
What spell check are you using? The one from MS Word?
Is Picture It on your machine and do you use it?
If you are using the Word spell check, download and install this freeware
spell check. I use it and it may solve the issue.

As for using the clunky Web interface for posting, there will always be
issues. Why not use OE instead?

When I compose an email in Outlook Express and then click on Check
Spelling,
I get a pop-up window titled, "Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0". The
widow
indicates, "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Picture It".
Then,
another pop-up appears with the same title and the following message,
"The
feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other ..... Insert disk
and
click OK". Can you tell me how to correct this problem?
I am running Windows XP Home/SP3, Internet Explorer 7, and Outlook
Express
