Watch out that there are several path variables which you can define in Emacs! E.g. the MS Windows PATH variable which applies to the cmd-shell in Emacs. Regarding aspell or other tools that Emacs relies on, make sure that they are included in the variable. AFAIK, the MS Windows Environment Variable PATH should be included in automatically but in my case (GNU Emacs 22.1 on MS Windows XP) this failed. Therefore, I set all path variables separately in my .emacs file, e.g. I include the aspell/ispell path explicitly in my (setq-default exec-path '( ;; GNU Utils "C:/cygwin/bin/" "C:/Program Files/Aspell/bin/" ;; MS Windows Integration "." "C:/WINDOWS/" "C:/WINDOWS/system32/" "C:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem/" "C:/Program Files/Support Tools/" )) Hope this helps.
