Aspell

I am running Windows 98SE and am trying to install this program
http://aspell.net/win32/ and for the life of me I can not get it to work. I have downloaded the GNU Aspell-0.50.3 (win32) full installer and the English directory. I get the icon on the desktop and drag a file onto it but it blinks and that is it-I have created some text files with mis-spelled words but nothing happens. Could anyone let know if this program will work with windows?

Thanks,

What program are you trying to use it in? I use it for Opera on my 98SE PC. For IE6 I use ieSpell and for OE6 I use Spell Checker for OE 2.1.

You could try MicroSpell for NotePad, WordPad and etc.

 

I wanted it to check spelling in Notepad and text files that I have created but it does not seem to do anything and I was wondering if I was not installing something or it was not meant to work in Windows 98SE. I use Mozilla 1.7.11 and have a spell checker extension that works great in forums and such. Just was trying it out and thought it would be nice if I could drag and drop a text file on to it.
