I installed Vampirefo and it does list English as a spelling option now.
However, if I select English the message locks up and does not spell check or
send. Do you know if there's anyway to correc this other than going back to
French.

If it rejects the product key when you enter it, that means that either
the key is not for that product, or you mistyped it. Double check it.

$6.00 US. Pennies by today's standards.

You would have to ask your question to MS. I can't speak for them, but why
would they offer something for free that is part of a paid program?

Please be reminded that all development of OE ceased in June of 08 and
besides a security update if needed, WYSIWYG. OE will never change.

Do you have an Office 2003 CD? You tagged onto a thread that was very old.
The canned reply I have been using for quite some time is different.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Outlook Express cannot use the MS Word spell check in Office 2007.
Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this.
