Spell check seems to recognize every word as misspelled, and the changes offered seem crazy. What is happening?
It could be a problem with your “wspell.ocx file” or a permissions problem. First make sure you have wspell.ocx v5.14.1.0 or higher (not 5.14.0.0). To do this, use Windows Explorer and find the wspell.ocx file in your \windows\system (or \windows\system32 for XP) folder. Right click it and view Properties, Version tab to see the version number. If you have 5.14.1.0 or higher, you have the right version and the problem is likely due to not having proper access to the spell checker dictionary files (ssceam2.clx, etc) in your \windows\system or \system32 folder. If you don’t have v5.14.1.0 or higher, you should download and install the latest version of NYC from http://www.ffts.com/nycdl32.htm which updates the spell check engine.
