Outlook Express spell check not working

When I've written a message in Outlook Express, the first time I try to check the spelling I get an error message saying the spell check was halted. We have Office 2000 Professional installed. Subsequent spell-checks on the same, or other messages work OK. I've checked the registry entries that point to the proofing tools and they are all correct. Does anyone know of a way to solve this? and will OE check the spelling as you type?
Not sure this is what you need but might be worth a look

Thanks, none of the Microsoft docs helped but we seem to have solved the problem. It looks like McAfee Virus Scan was conflicting with it. We're just off to buy Norton Systemworks!
Summary: Strange thing: Word 97 spell checks fine. IE4 Outlook Express spell checks fine. IE5 OE won't spell check. Have tried reinstalling ie5 and word 97 without any joy. Ideas? Cheers...
Summary: After reinstall outlook express will dialup and work, explorer will dialup but page will not open. Page cannot be found. This also does the same thing when I try to open windows upgrade. ...
