Thanks Siegfried, I did download the dictionary English [Australian] dictionary if I recall and a lot of other stuff, some of which I purged when the spellchecker was up and running and discovered some of the software wasn't required. I just don't recall what was done and what fixed it. It was an affectation. When in windows I actually don't find MSWord or OpenOffice.org onerous to use, but prefer to use LyX wherever possible. So due to bloody mindedness just kept worrying away at it while working in the other programs and finally got it working the way I wanted.

I use the spellchecker on LyX 1.6.4 on Windows XP pro without any problem (in french !). Perhaps it is a problem of the langage of the document which isn't well defined (Document->Preferences). You must also have the dictionary for this langage. Siegfried.

I did get this working when I had to use windows recently, but I can't recall how I did it. I got that Miktex or whatever it was called to download and install all the possible packages. Then found Aspell on the net and installed that as well. When I went into the spellchecker through Preferences-> Language Settings-> Spellchecker, but it was greyed out and never changed. I also think I looked for a word list. Jumped through a lot of hoops, but knew as soon as my new hard drive arrived I would be back to Linux, nevertheless got the spellchecker to work in windows eventually. It was ugly and more trouble than it should have been. I wish you luck with it and am really sorry no notes were kept of what was done, so can't help you more.

Kind Regards, Hi, I've had several aspell issues in the past (last was 1.6.0alpha2), but I think they are fixed now. Last time, I seem to remember (well, I cheated, I googled for the archives of that list) that I could solve the issue by using the following installer: http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Windows/Aspell6/aspelldata-0.60.4-root.exe and the desired language files, all found at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/aspell6-windows/ First try to install the desired language, then if it still fails try the "root" one above. But first wait to let time for others to reply first. Someone may have a better solution. Best regards, Olivier
