Outlook error

Outlook was installed from the Office XP package. This is a new PC for a user whose data was transfered from another PC. The email is accessed from a Microsoft Exchange Server.

When the user tries to update or send an appointment, two errors come up. The first states that an "error occurred when spell checking" (comes up twice) and then an "internal function returned an error." There are not any problems with sending emails from the same program.

What do you think could be the problem?

It could be one of those rare cases where an error message generated by a Microsoft product actually describes the problem. I would start with turning off spell checking. It should be around Tools>Options>Spelling>Always check spelling before sending. If this takes care of the problem and is a satisfactory solution, you can stop there. If not, you might try reinstalling the Office Suite. Little buggy messages like these are a pain in that the Office Suite tends to be imbedded within it's own products. For instance, Outlook uses Word to compose and read e-mails...therefore, an error in Outlook could be a problem with Word. A flat-reinstall is, in most cases, a much quicker resolution.
