You have two problems. For the error message...........

Spell Checking does not work in OE:
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm

An error occurred while the spelling was being checked or: Spell Check was 
halted:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=224176


Now when that is fixed, you are going to find that your spell check is in 
French since you are using Office 2007. To fix that................

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook 
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the 
simplest way around this.

Vampirefo:

TinySpell:
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/  (Checks the spelling as you type).

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:

Problem with SpellCheck in OE
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:09:33 -040
I have been using IE6.0 w/OE6 on a Win XP computer for a long time, never 
had a problem with Spell-check.  MS works has always been installed on this 
computer.  Yesterday I installed Microsoft Office 2007, now when I run 
spell-check in OE I get a message that "an error occurred while the
spelling 
was being checked."  I'm hoping that I can point OE to either MS Works
which 
is still on this computer or MS Word.  I searched around looking for a place 
where I might change the settings, but had no luck.  Even went to the Help 
menu but of course it does not address problems with Spell-check only that 
you need one of the word processing programs on your computer for it to 
work. I am so dependent on spell check to check my spelling that I have to 
copy/paste into Word, run check then copy/paste back again to OE.  This is 
not a happy situation!

Thanks for any help you can give me.
