Windows XP - Outlook Express

My spell checker also does not work on Outlook Express. I have tried every imaginable place to get an answer to this problem to no avail. Can anyone out there help?

Outlook Express uses the 32-bit dictionary from another MS product for its spelling checker. So if you don't have Word, Works, or some other MS product on your system, OE can't spell check.
