I'm not sure what the exact issue is with the 64 bit version, but it is
an known problem.
Spelling Command Is Not Available in OE for Win XP 64-bit Edition
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308078
And I'm not quite sure why using the 32 bit version of OE from the 64
bit Windows works. Possibly because it's using the 32 bit version of
Office.
Besides going to another e-mail program, there are some
shareware/freeware spell checkers that work with OE. But I've not heard
if anyone has tried them with the 64 bit version. You might want to try
one. See the URL in my signature for links to these.

By Golly it works!, Err~ I wonder what dll and or other files it is
dependant
on?
My concern is, when or should I fully migrate to just X64 and
eventually
remove the 32 bit operating system less the outlooks express folder of
course, will the sucker still work? or how about if I copied it to the
root
of "c" drive and do the forementioned?
Eh!??? sounds like 15 minutes to much of work!
I may have to resort to another email client that wont cost me an arm
N a
leg just for email spell checking support... LOL thats only if
microsoft
persists with their lacking full support of their own products..
So yeah~ Thanks fur that Mike!

Well get this!
I have two partitions one that runs the XP 32 bit windows on "D"
drive
and
on the "C" drive is the X64 windows both have office 2000 installed
and the
outlooks express on the 32 bit windows does the spell check no
problems, and
when I run the x64 bit outlooks express it wont spell check... but
heres the
thing that I have done, I copied a short cut from the 32 bit
outlooks
express
to my 63 bit desk top and whoa la! the outlooks express does a
spell
check no
problemo! err only problem is when one clicks on a email address
the
64 bit
outlooks fires up and the spell check wont work... so any
suggestions
on how
I make the 32 bit outlooks the defualt email program?

OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an
MS
Office
program. The spell checker in Works 4 through 6 will work with OE,
but not
other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can
download a
free
spell check at one of these sites.
