Iam a computer nerd. I recently moved from Windows pro, firefox to a new DEll windows 7.IE. I don't have spell check. Do I need to activate something or down load a program? Thanks.
Did you have spell check when you were using your previous version of Windows? If so, then there is probably some security item in IE 8 that is preventing it from running. Being new to W7 myself, I don't know what that setting is, nut it's probably something on the order of "allow scripting". Alternatively, IE 8 probably still has the ability to designate a site as "trusted", so if you trust that this site won't deliver malicious content, you could try that.
Another possibility is that you had a spell-check add-in installed in whatever browser you were using before. If that's the case, you'll need to figure out what it was and install a compatible version on your new machine.
But again, I recommend just downloading firefox or chrome. They are much faster browsers as well. There are good reasons why they are growing so fast in popularity.
Shadowcat, you are a dirty old man writing on a strip club review site, and you're worried what people will think of your spelling??? Besides, using a spell checker is cheating... kind of like a mail-order diploma.

I would recommend just downloading chrome or firefox
