There is an oversight of Microsoft and no apparent reaction from them regarding Outlook Express' default language for spell checking apparently being French (France). This is a problem if Office 2007 is installed, particularly if you have a trial version on a new computer. Most users let it expire and use Outlook Express, but having pre-loaded crapware such as Outlook 2007, the updated 2007 dictionaries are incompatible with "outdated" and "neglected" Outlook Express. The fix is to install and older version of the dictionary from and older version of Office. If you never bought one, Microsoft gives you the finger and you are are SOL and better start learning French. Alternative to a Microsoft dictionary is to get a free dictionary for Outlook Express such as Snapfiles.
Procedure to fix the dictionary for Outlook Express are to do a custom install from an older version of Office with the languages needed. Link.
