After re-installing XP Home and Word for Windows, I have lost the spell
check function. "An error occurred while spelling was being checked." What
next?

Spell Checking does not work in OE:

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

Will whoever please answer this msg again. When I tried the suggestions My
computer froze up and I lost my mailbox and all internet connectivity. I
have been able to shuffle some things over from another computer. The WinXP
disk didn't have the CAP....dll file on it so it couldn't expand it. I d/l
the file from a site you mentioned but it wouldn't install because it would
only accept .cab files and this was a .dll file. I'm getting deeper and
deeper in the hole here. I had to download the Registery repair file from
the page with the downloadable dll and it found 187 errors on a newly
installed version of XP.

Thanks

Start again by the sound of it? Fresh install. What you describe should not
happen.

Unfortunately, it did and I still don't have a spell checker. I spent two
days freshly formatting and installing XP and I won't go thru that again.

Word for Windows 97. It gives me all I need and I have used it with this
version of XP before I reinstalled.

You are probably missing CSAPI3T1.DLL in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF

You can expand it from CSAPI3T1.DL_ in the \i386 directory on your WinXP CD.
Go to Start | Run and type this command:

expand x:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL

Where X: is your CD drive. Then move it from the root directory of C: to
the PROOF folder. Some people also have to put it in the Outlook Express
program folder.
