Lost my spell check

I have had a lot of trouble with both interent explorer and outlook express of late, but thought I had everything fixed. Then, I thought about having so many EMail go through without a speling mistake. Well, this just is not ME.

I had downloaded another spell checker from www.quinion.com/mqa/spell.htm , which served me well for years. It, too is gone. Anyone know what I did and how to get it back.

I use Windows 98 SE
Internet Explorer 5.0

CHARLES,

Is the Quinion spell checking program showing up in Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove programs?

 

My OE help says:

To check the spelling in messages

Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with the following Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling command is not available.

Also try a search of the archives. This problem has been solved before in a previous post.

No, it is not still on the add/remove file. I have attempted to download again, but it never seems to go completely through. Perhaps they are "accepting no new clients ". It was far better than the one that came with Microsoft.

Thanks so much. The last one did it for me. I have a spell check, and I don't feel so bad about sending out EMails again.

Grrrrrrrrreat!!!

Which one did you end up with?

 

Spell Checker

Hi, I D/L the Spell Checker in this post but after following the instructions carefully I couldn't get it to show in my Start/Programs/etc and its not in my Control Pannel Add/Remove. What would be the BEST way to uninstall program please ??
Paul

 

Probably to simply delete the program file and to delete any relevant entries from the registry.

 

CHARLES--You have lost me as to what you have tried and what worked/did not work.
Did you try here?

This gives you most of the spell checking capabilities of Word in OE.
