"IE Speller Utility Feedback..."


          

Steve, I've been meaning to post back to let you know a little more about my experiences with IE Speller in WinXP Home Edition.   Good news!   I have not been able to get it to fail in WinXP with one exception.

This is great news for me because I really got used to relying on IE Speller in Win98.   When I switched to Win2K I continued to use it, but it was frustrating because of the failure rate.   While I still use it in Win2K on all my desktop machines, my laptop came with WinXP and I've been using that every day.   It's great to have it working flawlessly again.

Having said that, I did get it to crash once in WinXP.   I had Outlook open when I executed a spell check with IE Speller and it crashed.

I've used Speller perhaps fifty to seventy five times in the last week to ten days so I feel that's a pretty good failure rate (about ~1.5%).   Thanks.

The problem Shelly and several others shared with me turned out to be the result of NAV2002 set to incorporate an Office screening module. I continue to seek a modified script that will completely avoid the Win2k failures without adding "pause" time but I'm hitting a dead end.

dialog box.   If you get impatient and try to close the open instance of Word, it crashes.

Happy to say it is working perfectly in XP since the Norton edit you suggested.
