Thank you for the help. I have a language drop down box under the Home page
Menu: Tools/Options/Spelling, but it is already set to English and I still
get the message. I did find that if I click Tools from within the e-mail I
want to send and click Spelling, it works.

Worked for me! Yet another bug with Vista. Compatibility issues starting to
wear on me as well. Having to download patches, fixes, new drivers. Old
software does not work, people with XP cannot seem to open my attachments.

The registry setting looks correct.

Alternately, you may use the following REG file to set the default spell check language:
http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/spellchk_settings.reg

Download the file to Desktop. Right-click on the file and choose Merge. Click "Yes" to confirm. Note that this REG file does not bring back the language options in the "Spelling" tab dropdown box, but sets English as the default language. Let's know how this goes.

I've clicked on spelling and I don't get a drop down menu. I have checked
everywhere and don't see the options. I tried your following suggestion and
here's what's posted:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{275C23E2-3747-11D0-9FEA-00AA003F8646}
(Default) REG_SZ Multi Language Support

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\clsid\{275C23E2-3747-11D0-9FEA-00AA003F8646}\InProcServer32

I tried Ramesh's suggestion below to no avail. In fact, no language drop down
appeared. Suggestions?

Can you list the relevant bug ID for this problem? I'm assuming it exists (or
I'm going to go create one). I'd like to track it. It's a very annoying bug
for a clean installation of your newest OS. I wish I'd seen and reported it
during beta.

:

Start Windows Mail
Click the Tools menu and choose Options...
Click the Spelling tab
From the Language drop-down, select English (default choice)
Click OK

That bit about it still working is fascinating, but for the other part,
change it to French, close and reopen WinMail and then change it back to
English.
 
Hi Everyone,

1. The OPTIONS in the TOOLS menu can only be accessed before you double
clicked a message. If you are currently in a MESSAGE, quite the message then
access the TOOLS menu, the OPTIONS will be there.
2. The problem I faced, well, ENGLISH was already the default spelling check
language but it didn't work. Here is what I did (not so technical approach)
to make it work:

a. Change the Spelling Language to English (French)
b. Click APPLY
c. Change the Spelling Language back to ENGLISH
d. Click APPLY.

Spelling works fine after this. It appears that the REGISTRY got updated
correctly using this approach. Less complicated, I suppose.

i have read some answer you guys have given i still don't know how to change

I agree with everything you people are saying. Yes, it is not only the
Americans that use Vista but the whole world (for once something that is not
all American orientated)! So indeed, its about time that we got the use of
Vista for the whole world and not just the Americans but all this bickering
does not sort the problem out. Its not the fault of any particular country
(although we could possibly blame one particular country for everything bad
that happens on this planet) but it still does not address the problem at
hand! How the hell DO we get the spelling in Windows Mail, to understand the
real (British) English language? To understand it as was intended to be
spoken and read and not bastardised (with an 's' and not a 'z') by our
American 'friends'? That is the questin in point! How does it work?

Well, I suppose you could build a large company like Bill Gates did
and develop your own spelling checker.
The point is that Microsoft is not obligated to do anything for anybody
out of the goodness of their heart. If you need multi-language spell
checking, there is always Outlook.
 
This 'fix' works perfectly. Seems like the language selected previously has
not been applied as a default so when you press spell check you need to
re-confirm your language.
Cheers for the assistance.
 
You're welcome!

This does not work for me.
I go to the MAIN Windows Mail page
Click the Tools menu and....
all I get is "Internet Options" not Options.
I looked under the internet options just to see, and could not find a
spelling thing anywhere. I did see a language area for web browsing, tried
removing and then adding back the english, and even just adding an additional
language... and nothing.
I also tried going to the Main Windows Mail page and hitting the options
button on the upper right hand side, and there is nothing there for spelling.
I have Windows Vista Business - does this make a difference?
Someone Please Help! Thanx!
 
Are you sure you're on the main screen of Window Mail, not in Internet Explorer?

Sounds like you went to Tools in a program other than Windows Mail,
probably Internet Explorer.
