Thanks all.

To Rich-M,
yeah, IE spell worked years for me but lately it gives me a error message. It check spellings OK but, soon after it says "IE spell-failed to save window placement, failed to create reg key"

Are you aware that Firefox has built in spellcheck and that works in any OS including even Linux?

When you install IESpell, it helps to install "As Administrator". Right click the EXE file ans select "Run As Administrator".
