make sure ispell is in your windows path.

e.g. here's what i have in my init file:

(when (string-equal system-type "windows-nt")
  (progn
    (setenv "PATH" "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/
cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/
System32/Wbem")
(setq exec-path
'(
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs/emacs/bin/"
"C:/Windows/system32/"
"C:/Windows/"
"C:/Windows/System32/Wbem/"
"C:/Windows/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/"
"C:/cygwin/bin/"
)
 )
    )
  )
