I have the latest (I think) version of OE and just got a new computer with
Vista. So I no longer have Word on my computer - only MS
Works/Workprocessor. I guess that's not enought because when I attempted to
do a spell check it told me, "This language is no longer available for spell
checking. Please select another in the spell checking dialogue." !?! What
is that about?? There was a little message in blue at the bottom which
directed me to this site. And, so I ask, can anyone help with this issue?
Thanks!

If you are running Vista, you do not have Outlook Express.

You have Windows Mail now, not OE. See

It is impossible to have Outlook Express on a Vista machine. Windows Mail is
the e-mail client that comes with Vista,
