I don't recall this. Do you have the old message from the archives? I think, THINK mine MIGHT have had something to do with a missing/corrupt DLL also. I always post the follow-up with the fix, so see if you can search for the subject line to find that follow-up.
Yep, I looked at that URL and I remember it now, and that file. That's exactly what I did and it fixed the problem. I'm GLAD you posted this, because I don't think I made a note of the fix and when I got around to putting a new HD on, I would have had the same problem and would have had to search for it again! BTW, it was an OLD version of MSworks for my spell check function in OE (and XP Pro) of which I still use. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Mercer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I looked in our archive to try and find a solution to the problem below but could only find that Clint had posted the same problem in the past few months without finding an answer so far as I could tell. I found the answer at another board that worked for me at the website below. I thought I would post it here to get the info into our archives. It was a missing DLL. http://www.theeldergeek.com/oe_spellcheck.htm "I did a reinstall on XP Home and now the spell checker doesn't work. I have installed Word 97 and also check marked the boxes in spellchecker and hit Apply. The spell checker worked fine prior to this reinstall. Clicking the "spelling" icon on an email gives an "error has occurred" message, and sending an email and letting it check automatically brings up a pop up window saying; "The spelling check on this document was halted, do you want to continue?" Any help would be most appreciated." ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
