OK, I have figured it out. In case you are interested: Following skip's suggestion (separate thread) to uninstall and reinstall SpamBayes did not fix the problem.
Answering the question below: The dialog I was referring to was the "COM Addins" dialog box, accessed from Tools/Options/Other/Advanced Options. In my wife's Outlook account, trying to add SpamBayes there wouldn't do anything. But it did work after I changed her Windows account type to Administrator. This seems to be a requirement. I have made a donation.

I'm not sure what dialog you are referring to, but Outlook addins are always DLLs. > I could remove the entire program and download and reinstall it, but I > fear that I may then lose the information that my copy has already > learned about spam. Uninstalling spambayes will leave all your training information behind should you later re-install.
