    Select another language, then switch back.

    Sorry to bother you both. I am brand new with Vista (one day) and tried the
    spell check. Same result as Joanie. The trouble is I am no longer young (!)
    and do not know how to change the language. Any help appreciated. Many thanks

    Hi, Dave, "Old Chap", Join the club<grin>
    Try this -
    Look at the top bar in your, "Internet Explorer", for "Tools", and click to
    open the, "Drop-Down Window".

    Way down at the bottom of the drop-down window, click on, "Internet
    Options", and another box will open.

    On the bottom of this new box there is a tab called, "Languages", and it
    should have the present language shown in the window.

    Now look to the left on the new box and click, "Add",.

    Now select any other language than UK English, (Try US-English).

    Click o.k. and close the window.

    Now do the same thing again but this time re-select UK-English and remove
    the other language.

    To take away all the mystery - the explanation is that the original
    dictionary, or as MS calls it, "Lexicon", that was loaded when the program
    was installed, was flawed and what you have just done is loaded something in
    place of the flawed lexicon and then replaced that, in turn, with the
    corrected UK-English dictionary that has been replaced with the routine MS
    updates when the flaws were first discovered.
    Now that wasn't so hard - was it?
    Hope that helps,
    Auld Bob Peffers.

    Changing the language preference in Internet Explorer does
    not change it in Windows Mail.

    Sometimes it is just a matter of being a bit adventurous and trying
    the obvious menu choices.
    In Windows Mail: Tools, Options, Spelling.
