I have not been able to get spell checking to work on the 1.4.1 LyX build on
Windows XP.
I have installed Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe and told it to install in C:\Aspell
LyX 1.4.1 needs aspell version 0.60.x.
I have installed aspell6-en-6.0-0.exe in a variety of places, including
C:\Aspell C:\Aspell\Dictionaries and C:\Aspell\lib
Don't install it several times.
You can use this LyX installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
that automatically installs and configures aspell to work together with
LyX. All you need to do is to install some dictionaries - the installer
asks you for this and points you to a download repository.
I have reconfigured LyX, and spellcheck is not grayed out.
You can ignore this as this setting is by default disabled in LyX for
wondows.
