Did you previously have spellcheck with your Outlook Express? Outlook Express requires a word processing or stand alone spell checking application installed before spell checking can be enabled.

spell check F1

It is NOT F1 it is F7

Make sure it is F7 not F1 because that is either used by Windows Help feature or used by certain Forum Admin's as a handle.
