Spell Check in Outlook 2003

[mpnut]

I have a PC that is running Outlook 2003. I had originally set up the user as a local Administrator and everything worked fine. Then, I was told users should be set up as Power Users instead of Administrators. Once I made that change, the whenever the user tries to run spell check in Outlook, she gets a message that says "error occurred while checking spelling". I have tried changing them back to local admin and spell check works fine. Any idea how to get Spell check to work as Power User. Also, I have a bad feeling this is just the beginning of the errors I'm going to see now that user's are no longer allowed to have admin rights.

Does this user have Permissions set to allow access to the Spelling Checker?

Thank you for the tips. However, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. You asked if the user has permissions to allow access to the spell checker. I'm not sure where permissions for spell checker would be. Can you tell me? Also, it seems like it would have to be an XP permissions issue and not a MS Office issue since everything works fine when the profile is set as a local admin.

Do a Search for PROOF, that may be the folder involved?

Also Search for a file called MSspell3.dll, probably inside the Proof folder, but other applications may have one.
