You forgot to tell us in what application the spell check doesn't work. I
have these notes regarding Office 2007 and Outlook Express. Of course you
won't have OE in Vista, but perhaps the information will be helpful anyway.

After installing Office 2007 RTM, you don't have English as a choice of
language in the spell checker of Outlook Express and potentially other
programs.
1. Office 2007 is replacing the v.3 English Proofing Tools that shipped in
prior versions of Office with a new version (v.6). There are a number of
changes in this new version, but the one that is causing this problem is
that Outlook Express doesn't understand the new English Proofing Tools.
This is a problem because Outlook Express has never shipped with its own
proofing tools but has used the ones shipped by Office.
2. The workaround for this problem is to install the English dictionary from
Office 2003 (or Office XP). There should be no need to install all of
Office just the dictionary. The English Proofing Tools can be found in the
Custom Install tree under Office Shared Features|Proofing Tools|English.

If your question *is* about MS Office and the above doesn't help, you should
post in one of the Office newsgroups. Don't forget to include important
information such as the version of Office you're using, etc.
