Try aspell from the command line on a test file of deliberately
misspelled (badwords.txt) words. So  C:\>aspell -c badwords.txt
and see if it works or not.

If it doesn't work, uninstall Aspell and the dictionary and
reinstall both of them in C:\aspell
and then check from the command line again, as shown above.
This will narrow down where the problem arises.
