The spell check on my Outlook Express has suddenly
stopped working. I receive a message "An error has
occurred while doing the spell check." and I am left
holding a dictionary. The last time it worked I tried to
add a proper name to the dictionary.
 
Hi Jane,

· Open Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

· Delete the CSAPI3T1.DLL file if it is present (or move it to
another folder as a backup). If it's not there, just continue with the next
step.

· Insert the WinXP CD and close the window that opens if AutoRun is
enabled.

· Start>Run and in the Open: box type msconfig and click OK.

· Click the Expand File... button to open the Expand One File from
Installation Source window.

· Make the following entries in the Expand One File from
Installation Source window.

· File to Restore: Enter CSAPI3T1.DLL
[Note: This entry must be hand typed rather than using the Browse File...
button]

· Restore From: Enter D:\i386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ (Change the D to the
letter of your CD Drive)
[Note: This entry must be hand typed rather than using the Browse From...
button]

· Save File In: Enter C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof
[Note: This entry can be made by using the Browse To... button]

· Click the Expand button. There will be no indication that the
procedure was successful. The Expand One File from Installation Source
window will close and you'll be returned to the System Configuration Utility
window. Click OK to close System Configuration Utility.

· Open Windows Explorer and again navigate to C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

· Find the file that was expanded, CSAPI3T1.DL_ , and rename it to
CSAPI3T1.DLL

· Launch Outlook Express and navigate to Tools>Options>Spelling tab.
Make sure there is a checkmark next to "Always Check Spelling Before
Sending" option.

· Reboot and then check OE for proper spell checking functions.



You can download the Csapi3t1.dll file and copy the same to this location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof folder.

If you don't have a spell check:
You can download dictionary from the following site:

I hope this information is of assistance.
