Fixing Windows Mail Spell Checker in Vista

Posted by Wade Burchette at 9:05 PM Computer Repair Notes

Windows Mail in Vista has a very common bug in it. Every so often, the spellcheck feature in it stops works. It gives this error "This language is no longer available for Spell Checking Please select another in the Spelling Options Dialogue". Fortunately, the fix is very easy.

To fix the problem, open Windows Mail. Then click at the menu bar at the top TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> SPELLING. At the bottom is the option to choose which language to spell check, choose any one except English. Then click Apply at the very bottom. Then change the language option back to English and click OK. That will solve the problem.
