hello friends,
I am using Microsoft Outlook Express 6. The spell checking feature does'nt work and cannot be enabled in Outlook Express 6. Whenever I try to spellcheck a message, I receive a message -
"An error occurred while the spelling was being checked."
why is this happening ? and how can I fix it ?
please provide necessary solns.......thnx
Outlook Express does not have a spell checker. It can make use of the spell checker in Microsoft Office 95 or later, or Microsoft Works (later versions, which include Microsoft Word) if present. However, a system file csapi3t1.dll that is required in order to make use of the spell checker is not installed by Windows XP.
You may be able to see whether or not csapi3t1.dll is being used by Outlook Express by clicking on Help, About.
Obtain a copy of the missing file csapi3t1.dll and place it in the folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof".
Click Start | Run | type msconfig | hit Enter.
When the System Configuration Utility starts, click the button captioned Expand File. In the Expand One File from Installation Source dialog box type the name of the file you want to restore (e.g. csapi3t1.dll), select the location to restore from (this will either be your Windows XP CD or a folder named i386 on your hard disk) and enter the name of the folder where the restored file should go (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof). Then click Expand.
After have done this, you may need to restart Windows. You should also verify that "Always check spelling" is enabled in Tools, Options, Spelling.
If you can't find an i386 folder, you might have a copy of csapi3t1.dll somewhere on your Microsoft Office CD. Copies may also be extracted from the file mailnews.cab in an Internet Explorer 5.0 or 5.5 distribution set, the file win98_27.cab on a Windows 98 CD, or the file Win_10.cab on a Windows Me CD.
Download a copy of the file by clicking on this link.
Just run the downloaded file to install it into its usual location.
