My HD crashed on my Dell XPS T600, that includes 320 meg
ram. With a new hard drive I replaced Windows 98 with XP
Home Addition. My main complaint is I do not have Outlook
Express (6) spell check, which I understand is now a
part of Internet Explorer. All the tools/option switches
are on. both Word and XP have been reloaded several times
for missing files. Single word spell check causes "an
error occurred while spelling being checked" message.
Using the SEND button causes a "spell check on this
document halted" message. MS eMail troubleshooting says a
possible cause is a missing Csapi3t1.dll file
preventing communication with Word Spell Checker. The
WORD spell checker works just fine. A search of the XP
disc indicates this file is not present. It was located
on the Win 98 CD, however it is a new installation disc
and can not be copied. OE HELP/about MS OE, shows the
missing file and lists it as an UNKNOWN. Update downloads
from MS only make matters worse. OE's MS on the Web is
totally useless. Are there Switches in Explorer or Word
that need to be turned on? By all accounts my OE spell
check should work but it does not. Thanks

Copy and paste the following without the quotes into your search, it should
be on the word disk:
"CSAPI3T1.dll" then copy to the Outlook express folder.

I used MS search as suggested for(CSAPI3T1.dll). I looked
in hidden and all other files in WORD, XP, WORKS SUIT 99,
and my HD. I was unable to find the above *.DLL file. Any
other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:

Copy the following command to your clipboard:
EXPAND M:\I386\CSAPI3T1.DL_ C:\CSAPI3T1.DLL

Place your XP CD is in your drive, Click on Start - then
Run and Press CTRL - V to Paste the command into the RUN box and press
ENTER and it should run the EXPAND command and expand the CSAPI3T! file onto
your C: root directory.
Using Windows Explorer, MOVE the CSAPI3T1.DLL to your C:\Program
Files\Outlook Express folder
Remove the XP CD and reboot

Hi Chuck,

Try this fix:
http://www.angelfire.com/dragon/sramesh2k/oe_spell.exe

You dont need to manually extract csapi3t1.dll. The above fix does it all
automatically.

BTW, This fix is available from www.majorgeeks.com site (also referenced in
Michael Stevens - MVP site)
