Hello !

I have problems after upgrading Outlook to 5.0.6 Swedish version. As
soon as I start the program a dialogue box appears saying that "Spell
check can not be done in Swedish. Enter Tools and select a new
language". I try to do this but spelling is gray and can not be entered.
I have re-installed Outlook several times and also re-installed Office
98 without any improvments. What to do?

The other problem is even bigger. I can not send e-mails. I recieve mail
and I can send from the e-mail account when doing this from my Internet
suppliers homepage but not from Outlook after the upgrade. I get an
error message saying: "Out of memory. Error code -108" I know that the
mailaccount is Ok so there must be something in the Outlook application
but what ? Please help.

I've seen the same thing happen, but have not come across a definite
fix. Did you go to the "Spelling" tab in Edit -> Preferences and
verify you have the correct dictionary selected?

Start by increasing the memory allocation to Outlook Express. Quit
Outlook Express, select the Outlook Express program icon, and then go
to File -> Get Info -> Memory. Set the Preferred size to about
20000k. Relaunch Outlook Express and see if the problem persists.

You can also try tip #1 on the Entourage Help Page:
<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/errors.html#anchor-error-108>

"One user reported this error started after updating. The update put
new language encodings in the system folder without removing the old
ones. Remove the old ones manually."
