blah, blah, blah...

 

What I have learned is that there are two sets of OE software; one in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Outlook Express

and one in

C:\Program Files\Outlook Express

 

And they don't match.

csapi3t1.dll 1.0.0.2415 March 29, 2006, 7:00:00 AM in the x86 directory

and

CSAPI3T1.DLL 1.0.0.2415 Tuesday, December 15, 1998, 2:33:46 PM

in the

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PROOF directory

 

(clearly Microsoft hasn't mastered version control yet)

 

All my efforts to synchronize these three locations have failed.

First I simply coppied the latest to the x86 directory; only to have it

mysterioulsy revert to the old; then I deleted all the OE code in the x86;

and again it all came back mysteriously. Then I deleted all the OE code in

both directorys; again it mysteriously cameback -- unsynchronized as before.

 

So I watched task manager in fast refresh mode and I think culprit is

winlogon.exe; which makes no sense.

 

Any novel ideas?

Re: OE 6.0 SPELL CHECK

 

John:

Basically OE in Windows XP x64 is a 64-bit program and it can't

can't access spell check from Word because it's a 32-bit program. OE doesn't

have a built-in spell check, it relies on spell check from another program

like Word. As a work around in XP x64 I would cut and paste the reply from

OE to a blank Word document run spell check then cut and paste it back to

OE. With Vista OE is replaced with Windows Mail which has a built-in spell

check. Have a great day.
