OS: Windows XP SP3. Email Client: Windows Live Mail 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.0146). OS and email client are up to date, according to Window Update.

Issues:
1. Fails to auto correct while typing.
Tools-->Options-->Spelling Tab--->Automatically correct common capitalization and spelling errors is checked while Always check spelling before sending was unchecked.

2. The spell check on this document was halted. Do want to send it anyway?
Settings on the Spelling Tab:
Always check spelling before sending;
Check spelling as I type (this feature works correctly);
English-US is Installed.

I read that you should choose between "Automatically correct common capitalization and spelling errors"
AND "Always check spelling before sending" as they do not work at the same time. Checking individually has not made a difference even restarting PC after change.

We have an  a few computers running the same OS and client as indicated above with the same issue.

Please respond if you have a resolution or even an idea of how to resolve this issue.

Thank You.

   My wife’s machine is a Windows XP SP3 system running Windows Live Essentials 2009.  I want to update her Essentials to at least 2011 but have been unable to do so.

    I have tried the full download and install only to be informed at install time that the components I want to update are already installed.  They are of course but the older versions.

    I know I could uninstall Essentials and start over but really don’t want to do that.

Any suggestions???

Windows XP SP3 all upgrades/patches installed.

First tried to upgrade an old version, didn't work.

Saw an old thread that recommended making sure that old version is completely uninstalled and deleting the old folder from Program Files so I did that.  

Tried installing the most recent offline version Live Essentials, still no joy.  Always the same, gets to 100% then rolls back the entire install. Always the same error message aborted: 0x80004004
I download windows live messenger many time 15 & 16 version
but can't install in my OS windows XP SP3
(says : application not for 32x)
