Dear All,
It might not sound professional, but try removing all the Lyx files and
update Miktex, then install LyX again...
Hope it helps...
Regards,
Esra

I initially had the same problem on linux. If I recall correctly, when I
compiled lyx 2 for the first time I didn't have the aspell development
files installed (libaspell-dev package under debian) so the configuration
run didn't find it and compiled lyx without aspell support.
I later installed it and recompiled but I also had to delete the .lyx-2.0
user directory and let lyx reconfigure for it to enable spell support. A
simple reconfigure wasn't enough.
I am seeing two small problems with the inline spell checker though
1. It's leaving around some of the red wigly lines, they are not fully
cleaned up properly when not needed any more
2. It won't work inside some of the inset (lyx note comes to mind, don't
recall about others) as it's popping up the inset menu instead of the
spell menu. The two menus should be combined

Dear Marshall, I tried every possible trick with Aspell and
CocoAspell, to no avail. The work, but it's like the dictionary is
empty. A very bad experience.
There are not enough testers and developers using MacOS X and I think
we lag behind in usability. Right now I don't have enough time, But I
hope this changes my mid year.
Until then, I hope someone gets to the solution. Best regards.
