Enabling Flyspell-mode gives an error

Question

I recently had to reimage my windows laptop, and emacs is now giving me a strange error: "Starting new Ispell process [default] Enabling flyspell mode gave an error" I have aspell installed, and it is accessible via emacs. I have attached a picture to show this. I also have (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell") in my emacs configuration. This same configuration works properly on my other windows machines. What might be the problem here? Image: Aspell in emacs-shell http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/4497/emacsaspell.jpg

Answer 1

You can add the line:

(setq flyspell-issue-welcome-flag nil) ;; fix flyspell problem

to your personal emacs initialization file (~/.emacs.d/init.el, ~/.emacs, ~/.emacs.el, whatever...) and that should bypass the problem for you.
