    Re: Windows Mail Spell Checker ERROR!

    Hello Bare Foot Kid!

    okay basically the error is with windows mail. When i press F7 to spell check, i will have "An error occurred while the spelling was being checked" and before sending email, i have set to spell check the email but now it has this error as paste -> "The spell check on this document was halted. Do you want to send anyway?"

    This issue is a known one as i can see a lot of people posting but just that i cant resolve mine.

    Please help me to solve this issue! thanks!

    Regards,

    Hello Bnr, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    Please try this, again if you already have, but be sure that you are doing it from the MAIN window that Windows Mail first opens to.

    Hope this helps,

    You might consider trying Windows Live Mail to see if it may work better for you instead.

    It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon, checks spelling as you type messages, and has a separate Inbox for each email account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus".

    Hi shawn,

    So there's no other ways that i can solve my windows mail error issit?

    If there's really nothing can be done den maybe i really have to try windows live mail. Is it everything similar to windows mails? after installing windows live mail, will windows mail be replaced or uninstalled automatically? thanks!

    BNR,

    You could try resetting Windows Mail (Problem Two section at link), or doing a repair install of Vista to try and fix it.

    Windows Live Mail would just be an easier alternative if you liked it. That's all. It will only take over as the default email program instead of Windows Mail. Windows Mail will still be there, and could also be used at the same time if it still worked properly. You can look around the "features" at the link below though for more details about Windows Live Mail with screenshot of it to help see how you might like it before installing it.

    Oh my. Well, at least it's working again for you. I hope that you had a copy of your messages set to be saved on the email server.
