At my suggestion a friend bought a Dell computer aprox 3 monthes ago. She has Outlook Express for e mail, but cannot spell check. Repeated calls to tech support and still no solution. Any one else heard of this problem ?

Yes. I read that it's because there is a glitch in the shared files or something. You can get an excellent and free spell checker for outlook express here.
