i use ispell a lot and i had no problem at all. please check if your 
c:\djgpp\djgpp.env has been updated to recognise ispell. the instructions 
are in one of the readme files. incidentally i did have problems in 
running ispell from within my configured tex editor, but that was more 
because of my editor configuration not being proper.
