Spell checker problem

I just went through the experience of a hard drive failure and when I got a
new hard drive installed and my system back alive I found that Outlook
Express won't do a spell check. The spell check function limits me to French
only, and since I don't know or use French this is of no benefit to me.

When I open Tools > Options then click on the Spelling tab I see the slot at
the bottom with the words French (France) in it. The drop-down for this slot
has no other languages listed.

The spell checker works okay in all my Office 2007 applicaitons, and it goes
through the process of doing a spell check in Outlook Express, but calls
every word misspelled because it doesn't match any words in the French spell
checker dictionary.

I'm using Windows XP Pro SP 2 and MS Office 2007 along with a few other
programs such as Adobe Photo Shop. All these programs seem to be working
right and Outlook Express works very well except for the spelling check
problem.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Gordon
