ISpell not working

[Eric Schwarzkopf]

Okay thanks for the info.=20
=46rom what I saw it looks like its in the correct PATH and everything lo=
oks to=20
be okay, but when I attempt to spell check this message I still can't get=
 it=20
to work right and this is the error message I'm still getting:
"ISpell/ASpell could not be started. Please make sure you have ISpell or=20
ASpell properly configure and in your PATH."

So what is going on, why won't it work?
Sugestions or idea's?
