Windows 7

I finally got frutrated enough to get a new computer. My old one was given to me by a friend. It had XP but not enough memory. It used Rambus memory and the best price I could find it for was $279 for 1 gig.
I now have 5 gig of memory so I now am speeding along.
There is definitely a learning curve with Windows 7 and the end is nowhere in sight. One thing that I have found is that the forum spell check no longer works for me. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

Ken: Why not add spell check to your Windows Explorer?

Since the upgrade (a bit over 2 years ago) the forum lost it's spell checker.
When I checked there were simply no spell checkers out there for phpbb3, the reason was that every browser has spellcheck plugins and putting it in the forum makes it redundant.

I was using Firefox on my old computer. It must have been giving me spell check. I thought it was the forum. I am now using whatever version of Explorer came on this computer.

Just install Firefox anyway, it's a really great browser.

At work we run Win XP Pro,at home I have 7 Home Pre - got the latest FF, but at work I get spellchecker, and at home I don't.
I've tried to get the däng, annoying spellchecked to be switched off at work, but can't find anything in FF add-ons that might explain the spell check.
I do have the advanced options add-on - is there maybe a hidden spell check option I might have accidentally turned on?

Right click - "Check Spelling" will be checked. Uncheck it.

There's actually no reference to spelling in the right-click menu for me, either at work, or at home.

Werner,
Go into the post a reply window and add some text. Right click and THEN you will find the spell check option in FireFox.

Oi! No
It does have a "Add Dictionaries" option here at home... so, I guess the answer at work would be: yes you're right. Thanks, Brian
