English Spell Checker not working

Hi, The English spell checker on Windows Live Mail does not work (Vista OS).
Other languages are OK. When I highlight the English spell checker it does
not provide an option to uninstall it either, other langauges do. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

Re: English Spell Checker not working

How is a Windows Mail reg file going to help?
There is no "SpellLangID"="9" in WLM reg files.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail]
"SpellDontIgnoreDBCS"=dword:00000000
"SpellDontAlwaysSuggest"=dword:00000000
"SpellCheckOnSend"=dword:00000000
"SpellCheckOnType"=dword:00000000
"SpellIgnoreUpper"=dword:00000000
"SpellIgnoreNumbers"=dword:00000000
"SpellDontIgnoreProtect"=dword:00000001
"SpellIgnoreURLs"=dword:00000001
"SpellLangID"="9"

Re: English Spell Checker not working

On a further point of this thread.
How can you change the language for the spell checker in Windows Mail?

If it's an English language version, then English will be the
default spell check language for all users and the necessary files
are put in the program folder. All other optional languages are on a
per-user basis, the files are stored in the user profile and the
user can install/uninstall them at the Spelling tab in Options.

Assuming that this is an English language version of WLMail
14.0.8064.0206, try this:
* With WLMail closed, navigate to %programfiles%\Windows
Live\Mail\Proof. If there's a folder in there called prf0009, move
it somewhere else, like your desktop.
* At Add or Remove Programs (or whatever the Vista equivalent is),
find Windows Live Essentials and select Change/Remove. In the next
window (which might take some time to appear), select Repair. When
it's finished, check whether there is now a folder called prf0009 in
the Proof folder. If so, start WLMail and try again.

Check your spelling settings, too: if you have 'Check spelling in
current input language' selected, your input language must be the
one you want to spell-check in. Check at Regional settings >
Languages in Control Panel.

Re: English Spell Checker not working

In WLM, you add the Language bar to the Taskbar. Changing the language will
change the spelling language.

Re: English Spell Checker not working

Why are you asking a Windows Mail question in a Windows Live Mail forum?
The different programs each have their own user forums (newsgroups).

.... end quote.
RE : ADD language : there are 36 languages available in WLM, what language
you have in mind that is not listed ?
RE : CHANGE language : Tools > Options > Spelling. Take your pick.
Windows Mail has only 4 languages listed. You can change among those 4 the
same way as mentioned above.
P.S. Keep your cool. Restrain yourself from using Capital letters . It is
regarded as " yelling ".
