I purchesed a new computer with XP Pro installed w/IE
6.0. I installed MS Office 97 from my old computer and
when I try to spell check my e-mail, I get an error saying
the spell check couldn't complete. How do I fix this?

Thanks

You are probably missing CSAPI3T1.DLL in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF

You can expand it from CSAPI3T1.DL_ in the \i386 directory on your WinXP CD.
Go to Start | Run and type this command:

expand x:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL

Where X: is your CD drive. Then move it from the root directory of C: to
the PROOF folder. Some people also have to put it in the Outlook Express
program folder.
