260782 2004-08-12 04:53:00 I am running Win XP and use MS Outlook Express for email.
On installing Spybot Search and Destroy, while the program seemed to function normally, it also disabled the spell checker in Outlook express.
This problem persisted until I uninstalled Spybot and then had to fix the spell checker in Outlook using the original Windows CD
Is this a known bug, and more to the point, is there a workaround?
Thanks for your suggestions.

260783 2004-08-12 08:17:00 I doubt Spybot killed the spellcheck. Normally XP/Outlook doesn't have a spellcheck function in it. You had/have to install MS Office, or something that had a dictionary/spellcheck function in it. I noticed when I installed SP1 it gave me the spellcheck (csapi3t1.dll is the file), thats missing.

Without it you need office or something.

260784 2004-08-12 08:27:00 Sounds a bit strange, there may be some 3rd issue that is causing your problem that Spybot is picking up on.

Sorry can't help you with it but, I'd rather have Spybot than OE running anyday. (no issues with Spybot and Thunderbirds spell checker).
