For some reason my language in the spell check has changed to French and I
cant seem to change it back to English. Any ideas?? Thanks

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the
simplest way around this.

TinySpell:

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:

Come on Microsoft - Do the right thing. YOU broke OE Spell Checker, YOU fix
it. Why should we have to go to a third party for a solution? I know OE is
replaced by Windows Mail in Vista. Can this be downloaded seperately?

OE has /never/ had a spell check of it's own. It has always relied on
another program. Office was not developed by the same team that developed
OE, and since OE is on its last legs, I doubt they care.

What if you never had an Office program? Many people don't and I never have.
I have used the spell check from Vampirefo for years. It works just fine.

Windows Mail cannot be downloaded to an XP machine, and if you took a look
at the Windows Vista Mail newsgroup, you probably wouldn't want it on your
machine anyway.
