Outlook Express requires a word processing or stand alone spell checking application installed before spell checking can be enabled.
	Problem area: Outlook Express Spellchecking is not functional after installing an enabling application (i.e. Office, Word, Works Suite that includes Word, etc.), try the steps below.
	!!!When tweaking your system files and/or registry, always set a new restore point before making changes.
	To follow the the steps below, you need to change the default Windows setting for  Hidden Files and Folders. From the Explorer Menu bar Tools>Folder Options> View Tab or by going to Start> Control Panel> Folder Options> View Tab. Uncheck the boxes that hide files. Click for Example
1.	Open Explorer> Go to [Drive XP is installed]:\|Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof
2.	Delete CSAPI3T1.DLL (If not found continue to next step)
3.	Put in the Windows XP CD

13.	Go into Outlook Express, open Tools - Options and then go to the Spelling tab. Put a check mark in "Always check spelling before sending."
