Vista - Outlook Express Problem

I recently reconfigured my email through OE from Netscape. The spell checker
won't work. I get an error message that says "the spell checker was stopped -
do I want to send the message anyway?" I have Office 97 installed on my
computer and the spell checker is working fine in those programs. What's
wrong?

Also, how can I get the windows in OE to open full screen? Especially the
address book. It opens so small I can hardly read the names and addresses.

Thanks in advance for you help.

Why are you asking about Outlook Express in a newsgroup for Vista Windows
Mail?

Have you installed IE7? Are you using Windows XP?

Do you know there are newsgroups for Outlook Express? Search for them
please.

Well, Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Jim!

I'm new at this newsgroup thing.

Yes, I've installed IE7. Yes, I'm using WXP.

No, I'm not aware of newsgroups for OE.

I'll try searching for them. My previous searches brought me to this arena,
but there's obviously no help from the folks here - if you are any indication
of the local membership.

Sorry to have disturbed you from your ivory tower of extreme superiority. I
hope I didn't interrupt your deification rites.

I'll respond ONLY - that's ONLY IN CAPS - to you kissing the world's big ol'
butt!

Gee, what an amazing response. I said please, and asked a few simple
questions and you come back with an assortment of junk you must have picked
out of a trash heap.

Since you are running XP, you must be using OE6 and clicking on the link
below will take you to that newsgroup:

Have a great day.
