do I need to install both? I already installed aspell and the trace I am getting is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Searching for program" "no such file or directory" "ispell")
  call-process("ispell" nil t nil "-vv")
  apply(call-process ("ispell" nil t nil "-vv"))
  ispell-call-process("ispell" nil t nil "-vv")
  ispell-check-version()
  byte-code("숁" [nil (ispell-check-version) ((error))] 3)
  (defvar ispell-library-directory (byte-code "숁" [nil ... ...] 3) ("c:/Documents and Settings/emp1/My Documents/emacs-22.3/lisp/textmodes/ispell.elc" . 25279))


also I have in my .emacs
(setq flyspell-mode t)
(setq debug-on-error t)
(setq debug-on-signal t)

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.
