I can't remember the details, but a couple of months ago the default dictionary I've used automatically for ever and without thinking, suddenly stopped working. Apparently it was no longer compatible with a recent TB upgrade. I switched to the British English Dictionary by Marco Pinto http://proofingtoolgui.org as an add-on. Works fine now. that must be what happened here ....thanks -- I believe in a better world where Chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned Ask your doctor if medical advice from a TV advert or brian reay is right for you What if the hokey cokey IS what it is all about ?

windows 10 spell checker not working
I think much in the same way as Firefox lost access to a lot of Add Ons when
they started to use the Quantum engine, when Third did the same the same problem happened there as well. If you look at add ons you see that some are disabled due to incompatibility. I myself question the effort put into the new engines in these bits of software. they are supposed to make the code more secure as add ons can no longer be used as vectors to hack into them, but sadly the performance has suffered as a result and how many people do you know ho have been hacked through a browser or email program? Normally its a bad choice made by a user or lack of care of what emails are opened and acted upon. People expect their anti virus to catch everything, but if that was the case, then there would be no need for virus definition updates. Most of the folk who have been hacked seem to have downloaded malware directly or been duped by phishing emails and other stuff. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Speed blabbered, again: Most of the folk who have been hacked seem to have downloaded malware directly or been duped by phishing emails and other stuff. Sure, but its still desirable to minimise the difficultys that the more naïve users can get into.
