That was it. . .holy cr*p I’ve been struggling with this for 2 days on a chapter of my thesis due 2 weeks ago. . .My daughter hit the hot button for Outlook Express. . .that must have been when the spell checker was disabled.
Thanks. . .

Oops. I should have spelled it right. It’s firmware!

I suffered with a slow internet connection with Vista for about three weeks until finally I upaded the firmwear on my wireless modem. I tried everything and updating the firmwear was the only thing that really worked. Before that, everything was slow, and many web pages failed to load or would take forever to load.

The registry edit from Freelancer works. When it started after the registry edit, Word recreated a new 1.0 folder, then copied the contents from the original custom.dic file to create a new custom1.dic file. All of my custom spellings were retained. Wonders never cease.

Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

Comment on Windows Vista and Firewire - INCOMPATIBLE! by Michael

Supported and works are 2 differant things. In my experience I have really low transfer speeds over firewire on my Windows 2008 Server installation, 3.3MB/s average, should be 35MB/s average.

OMG - you all are geniuses. I tried the registry instructions and IT WORKED. I am so excited. I have been working without spell check for about two months and my eyes are getting tired trying to pick up all of the errors. I re-named the folder to old1.0 (per the instructions from Lance) and then later saw Freelancer’s instructions to re-name it zz1.0 but it appears it doesn’t matter.

THANKS SO MUCH!

Holy crap! That really worked. When I first saw the solution I was like what the hell does that stuff mean? But it was all cool after. Thanks, man.

I have the same problem- the first day i installed Microsoft Office 2007, the spell check did work, however the next day it didn’t. Still won’t. I’ve tried the suggestion Lance gave for add-ins, as well as the language one. Nothing has worked. The program does not find errors at all. And I sort of tried the other option of the start/run/regedit and I do not get it at all. After you click Start, Run, type REGEDIT then what? What folder am I looking for? I’m sorry to bother everyone, but if I could get help that would be great! thanks

Okay i am about to go crazy with this issue, i have a brand new Toshiba laptop and for the life of me can’t get this issue resolved. i’ve disabled auto tuning, disabled IvP6, and sit there while it takes an eternity to have a website open. Firefox is impossible! IE which i don’t like using at least eventually opens the google web page but that’s about all before it times out!
i have the Realtek 8100 network card and need to know if anyone knows where i can get the driver for it and if that solves the problem,
Please anyone, i’m this close to launching the laptop out the window
Thanks Vista!!!

I have been having an issue with the spell check for a few months now, and as a student it’s not something anyone should risk. I tried what LocalTech said first, but that didn’t make a difference. I then did what Freelancer said and it worked! It’s great to have a working spell check! What’s the point of Word without it?

I have tried all of these–my spell check seems to work for documents but it will not spell check words embedded in a table. It says text marked as do not spell check (or some such) were skipped and I cannot figure out how to get them unskipped

I have a legit copy of word 2007 and this fix does not work! I downloaded it a few times and each time it locks up the spell check and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete it to get it to go away. Using a Pentium 4 ACER Computer. Does anyone have a GOOD fix for this problem????

Freelancer’s suggestion worked. My suggestion, though, would be to close word first, then make the registry change, then re-open word, then re-run the spell check.

Thanks freelancer!
