I have a issue on 4 Windows XP Pro x64 systems that the spell checker gives
an error when you try to run it. I have tried all the solutions from
Technet
and everywhere else on the Net but none fix this issue. Each one has a
version of MS Office loaded anywhere from 2000 - XP and all have the same
problems with Outlook Express 6. I have not been able to find the correct
download for IE6 on the Microsoft Website they all tell me when I try to
run
them that they are not for this Operating System and close. I have
downloaded the setup file that is stated in Bulletin MS04-013 (Q837009)
for
Outlook Express 6 SP1 (64 bit edition) with no success.

Even if I download another spell checker that adds into Outlook Express I
still get the same error. Can ANYONE help? I have two users that insist
on
using Outlook Express!

Thanks
Kevin

An error occurred while the spelling was being checked or: Spell Check
was halted:
