Vista - Spell Check Not Working

Hi,

My Windows Mail spell check has not been working for a few days. I thought
that something was wrong and it would be fixed my MS but so far it's not.

This is what's happening: After I write an email and click on "ABC", I get
a message that says "An eror occurred while spelling was being checked".
When I click on "Send", I get a message that says "The spell check on this
document was halted".

I checked in the Discussion Group if anyone else was having this problem and
found a discussion from last year that said to go to Tools, Options, Spelling
Tab, Choose another language other than the one you are using, and click
Apply. Then Choose "English" or what ever language you are using, click
Apply, then OK.

But I'm still getting the same message that I was receiving before. Can
anyone help me?

Thanks

I suggest you upgrade to the newer Windows Live Mail program:

It has a much better spell check.

Hi Gary,

What is the difference between WM & WLM? I remember reading somewhere is
the community postings a few months ago that WLM was not very good. People
were having problems with it and wanted to revert back to WM.

Anyway, my spellcheck worked fine until a few days ago when I began to get
those messages that I wrote about. Do you know what suddenly happened to
stop spellcheck from working?

Thanks,

WM is a "released to manufacturing" component of Microsoft Vista. It has
fewer bugs, in my experience. Otoh, no one is doing development work on WM,
and they haven't for two years. This is bad.

WLM can connect directly to Hotmail accounts. You can install third party
spell checkers for WLM, and you can add foreign languages from localized
versions of Office (this is a pain in the neck, but you can do it). I
imported my messages from Outlook Express into WLM, and then exported them
to Outlook. At the end of the process, all the email addresses of my
correspondents were gone. "Friendly Names" were still there. Afaik, WM
does not have serious data corruption bugs like this, but people in these
groups can't even find the spell check files for WM, let alone know how to
fix them.

Hello Nadia,

I have not had any problems with WLM. You can read more about the features of WLM at the link below. You will need to scroll down a bit to see all of them.

Windows Live Mail - Windows Live

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I would estimate that better than 90% of the people who switched from WM
to WLM were happier with it. The best way to discover the differences is to
try it out. If it turns out you don't like it, merely uninstall, and WM is back just
like before. A newer version of WLM is just finishing its beta testing, and it
should be released soon. The older released version (November 2007) is
also still available: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

That's optional, just decline it. Most people have a preferred search engine,
either Yahoo or Google or Live Search. You can change your preferred search
engine at any time. In Internet Explorer, look on the far right of the bar that has
the URL address.
