Crystal ball says you have aspell on your PATH before ispell, while your dictionaries are set for ispell. To see this, type this inside Emacs: M-: ispell-program-name RET If the above guess is correct, then either install the en_US dictionary for aspell, or modify your PATH so that ispell is found before aspell.
