When ever I try to use spell check ... I get a message iespell not installed... It is installed!!!

The best one to use is the Google one. If you install the Google navigation bar, it includes a spell checker which will check EVERYTHING you type on the Internet, including posts you do in forums.

I *love* the spell checker in the Google Toolbar.

I use it on everything I type on the internet, just as Ursa said. I can read something over and over and STILL not see that I transposed letters!
