| | Spell Check Not Working I have windows Live Mail Desktop installed on a Dell Inpiron 640m Vista Ultimate. I have spell check setup to check as I type and I have the English (United States) dictionary installed. It does not highlight mis-spelled words and when I click "Tools - Spelling" nothing happens. I tried uninstall and reinstall but nothing works. Any advise. I do have iespell installed but that should not interfere as it only works in IE. |

| | Re: Spell Check Not Working Updating to the beta worked but why does the colorizer in the beta only change the color of the menue bar in only slightly different shades of the default color.
