================================================ Subject: Why OE is "third party" From: "Jim" To: Date: Tue 5 Feb 2002 20:58:46 -0500 ================================================ Thanks Joe, The explanation is much appreciated. Doing a 30 minute search for the answer. Instead of editing the registry, sounds great. About the needed Dll file. Which Cabinet file to extract and what directory to put it in was also appreciated. I saved the information. I do have ME and installed IE6 with Outlook Express 6. I don't use it much. But would like a working spell checker.If I ever do feel like using the program.
