Outlook Express' spell check broke when I upgraded to XP, how do I fix it?

I'd simply repair Internet Explorer, of which Outlook Express is a part. For Windows XP that means running the System File Checker. Alternately, simply installing the latest and greatest IE and Outlook Express should also do.

Microsoft says office 2007 is not compatible with Outlook Express. Notice how Office Outlook tried so hard to make itself the default? Conspiracy?
Thanks for the help y'all. Snapfile works like a champ!

Ad one more to the club. Snapfile checker solved the problem though. On another weird throwback; has anyone figured out why they also took away the ability of OE to access hotmail? I mean after all they are both Microsuck aren't they, and they really expect people to keep paying for this crap!
