Can not use spell check. When I do OE locks up and I have to shut down, losing anything in that message. I have tryed creating a new identity, which did not resolve the problem. I also downloaded a third party spell check form Geeksquad, which did not resolve the problem. I have OE 6, Office XP w/sp3.Note: I had issues where I could not send messages. When I hit send OE would lock up and I would have to shout down. Through this forum I resolved that by creating new identities (2 separate).1 person needs an answerI do too

OE has never had a spell check of its own, so:What spell check were you using? What spell check did you download from Geeksquad? (A link if you have one). Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]Imperial Beach, CA

Below is the link. I was using the Spell Check button on the toolbar on the drop down when creating a message.http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

OK. That's the Vampirefo spell check and I have been using it for years on many machines. You still did not say what spell check you were using before. Should I assume you have Office/Word installed? That's the only place OE can get a spell check without a third party spell checkWhat version of Office/Word do you have? Since it happens in new identities, I have a suspicion that your issue is some sort of conflict with Word. Any recent Office updates that coincide with when this issue started?Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]Imperial Beach, CA
