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.
