Auto correct works, but the regular spellcheck does nothing, no error 
message, nothing

Is it "turned on" . . . . Tools - Options - Spelling tab - CHECK first box 
"Always check spelling before sending"

Alt + T, Options, Spelling tab, is Check spelling as I type checked?
Misspelled words will be underlined.

"check before sending" was not on, is on now, "check as typing" was on  -- 
still no indication of misspelling

What spelling language is installed?
Which is the default?

"check spelling in current input language" is checked

Now Ron's gone to bed, next question: what is your current input language? 
If you've never changed it, it's probably the same as your OS language, but 
there might be a discrepancy. You can see the default in Regional and 
Language Options in Control Panel, on the Languages tab. Then you have to 
make sure that the dictionary for that language is installed (not just 
'available') at the foot of Options > Spelling. If the
dictionary for your default input language is installed, you should try 
repairing your installation. Close down WLMail, find Windows Live 
Essentials in the Add or Remove Programs wizard in Control Panel and select 
Change/Remove, then Repair. When it's finished, reboot, make sure you're 
connected to the Internet and online and then restart WLMail. Test the 
spell checker again. If it's still not working, try with Autocorrect turned 
off.
