after install of XP problems

Please help.
I have installed windows Xp and now the following problems:
1. keep getting spell check halted although I have Works installed
2. can't open any attachments to emails
3. don't have the outlook express email bar that lets me change fonts or color.

Thanks for your help!

 

1. keep getting spell check halted although I have Works installed
Do you get an error message? If so, what is it?

2. can't open any attachments to emails
Open Outlook Express, go to Tools>Options>Security and uncheck "Do not allow attachments...." Click OK.

3. don't have the outlook express email bar that lets me change fonts or color
Look in View>Layout and check "Toolbar." Click OK. See if that enables the toolbar you want.

 

Outlook Express uses a Microsoft word processing program as a spell checker. Office 97 Pro works just fine with XP. But to use 97 for a spell checker for OE you need a file:

csapit31.dll

You copy and paste it here:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

Do a Google search for the .dll file.

Is that you?

 

If Miz's suggestion doesn't get you the toolbar you're looking for, perhaps it's set for plain text. When you open a new email, click on the format menu and then choose rich text (html) . The toolbar should appear when you do this. If you want it to default to this, in OE click tools>options and then on the send tab. Under mail sending format tick the circle next to HTML.
