Do you have ispell.exe or aspell.exe installed? If not, install them first. If you already have them installed and they work from outside Emacs, then set the variables debug-on-error and debug-on-signal to t and try again. You should get a backtrace with more details about where the error happened. If you cannot figure that out, post the backtrace here.
