Solution

  • I use aspell for spellchecking with emacs on Windows. Looking at my .emacs file I can see these configuration variables.

    (custom-set-variables
        '(ispell-dictionary "british")
        '(ispell-program-name "H:\\bin\\aspell\\bin\\aspell.exe"))
    

    I installed aspell with the installation wizard. M-S-$ ispell-buffer flyspell-mode and the like all work correctly for me.
