@Oldpilot:
Sigil 0.6.0 runs just fine on my XP machine. Most likely your .html file contains some serious syntax errors. Try cleaning it up with
HTML Tidy Online before opening it with Sigil.
Also select Help > About to check the Qt version that Sigil uses. (It's 4.8.3 on my machine.)

I tried to add a new spell check dictionary by copying it to the
\dictionaries folder, but it didn't work. Apparently spell-check dictionaries now need to be copied to:
...\Local Settings\Application Data\sigil-ebook\sigil\hunspell_dictionaries
instead of the
\dictionaries folder.
Even though very few users will ever need to install their own spell-check dictionaries, it'd be nice if you included instructions on how to add dictionaries for other languages in the online help.
Alternatively, future Sigil versions could simply mimic the behavior of Sigil 0.5.3 by moving all non-standard dictionaries found in the
\dictionaries folder to the
\hunspell_dictionaries folder.
