Hi Vanja,
sorry to hear that it didn't work. Just to clarify: when you set one of the 
languages in the list as default, this correctly unchecks the check spelling in 
the current language check box, because you are now using the list, and not the 
check box to specify the language.
Unfortunately, the accessiblity of windows live mail doesn't seem to be a 
priority for microsoft.
My only other suggestion would be to run the installer for windows live 
essentials, and there might be a repair option. Not sure how accessible the 
installer is though.
 
David.

Hmm this didn’t work, bbut thanks very much for your help. When I do what you 
said, go to uncheck spell in current input box, then go 
back, check it again, select brittish english, press alt+d to set it as default 
language, hit apply, then OK, once I go back to the  spelling tab, the “check 
spelling in current input language” box is unchecked again. It seems like alt+d 
key does not set default llanguage. If you try just pressing enter on it, as 
you said, the screen loses focus and left mouse clicking with virtual mouse 
cursor doesn’t seem to do the trick either. I guess I can at some point try to 
get someone sighted to try and click on to set the default language button to 
see if that works, but it is strange that this what should be a standard 
windows dialog box seems to be so inaccessible. Again, thanks for your help.
