spellcheck windows vista email

When I try to spell check outgoing email, a message pops up saying the "This
language is no longer available for spell checking. Please select another in
the spelling options dialog box." Since I'm writing in English and its the
only language I speak fluently, I seem to be out of options. I'm also a
terrible speller, so really need the spell check.

Thanks.

Is the spell checker enabled? See this link from my website:
http://vistasupport.mvps.org/enabling_spellchecker_in_windows_mail.htm

If spell checker is enabled, then try changing the language. You should
already have it set to English, but change it to, say French and then back
to English again.

Thank you so much John.
Very easy instructions to follow - I was getting really frustrated with my
new computer & tempted to go back to another provider!

Just follow this:
To set the language for the spelling checker
Before you can check the spelling in a message, you must select the language
you want to use.

Click to open Windows Mail.

Click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling tab.

Under Language, in the drop-down list, click the language you want to use
(English, French, German, or Spanish).

Click Apply, and then click OK.

Note
Although English is displayed as the default language, you must select it if
you want to use it.

To check spelling in a message
Click to open Windows Mail.

After writing a message, click the Tools menu in the New Message window, and
then click Spelling.

If a spelling error is found, you'll be given the opportunity to correct the
error, or add the word to the spelling checker's dictionary.

When the spelling check is complete, click OK.

Ciao

Windows Mail comes with its default language for spelling checks partly
set to English, but not enough to work. To correct this, click on Tools,
then Options, then Spelling, then the triangle to the right of English, then
some other language, then Apply, then the triangle again, then English,
then Apply again, then OK.

Why do you make new programs more difficult to use? i DON'T have a clue why I
can't preforme spell check on note written in English. This is
redicullious. Why does Microsoft try and push their problems onto group users?

"We" are just users like yourself....

If your spellcheck is not working, try to toggle the setting by selecting
another language, Apply, then re-select English, Apply.

This usually fixes it.

Better yet, get the newer Windows Live Mail, since WM hasn't and probably
never will be updated.

I am having the same problem. I did go to "tools" and re-set the language to
English. However, now instead of getting the message saying the language is
not available, it is not detecting misspelled words and it says that spell
check is completed. What should I do?

Thanks for your help.

Did you accidentally add misspelled words to the custom dictionary?
If so, you can edit the custom dictionary manually:

or you can use this add-on:
