XP Pro 64 bit...No Spell Check in Outlook Express 6

by sugarbear246 - 4/4/12 3:33 PM

I have read some of the solutions offered to restore Spell Check to Outlook Express V. 6.00.3790.3959.
Non of the Suggested solutions have worked on my system?
IS THERE A 64BIT SPELL CHECKER THAT WORKS WITH OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6? ANYONE KNOW OF A VIABLE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM? Looking forward to some suggestions. Someone Intimated that there IS NO FIX for XP Pro 64bit?
Any Ideas out there?
Thanks;

And microsoft does document it does not work and no fix is planned. Well, XP and XP64 are not being worked on actively.

But if you google this, you find folk with ideas like http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general/browse_thread/thread/372e067c307f62ea?pli=1

Earlier this year our last XP 64 machine went down and since we have no clients on that platform, no reason to resurrect it. But there are folk that have a license and will, like one of by dear friends drive that like their car. (Their car had two wheels in the grave.)

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=xp+64+bit+oe+spellcheck

Now that I see that it's the fourth hit, I can add one word to move it to #1.

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=xp+64+bit+oe+spellcheck+solved

I had to skim 3 hits till I found it.


THANKS FOR ASKING. Until you asked I hadn't looked for this one for over a year. Now I have a better answer.
