Spell Check

[Doug Lord]

Jeff, I had to get rid of my "google tool bar" which included a spell check facility and translation facility-both of which I miss!
I notice that when I post "advanced" that there is a little icon on the right-when you click on it, it says spell check for windows. When I look at the page that comes up it has four possible downloads:
1) (Primary Mirror) CNET Download.com,
2) (Secondary Mirror) Major Geeks,
3) (Secondary Mirror) Snap Files,
4) (US Mirror) hostultra

Which of these should I use-I have Vista with Internet Explorer 8.....

I generally find CNET quite reliable, although if you download via the cnet download manager one small thing I don't like is the fact that the cnet download manager "offers" an extra browser toolbar too unless you uncheck that option. I haven't used the other ieSpell mirrors recently.

I must admit that I've gotten accustomed to having inline spell checking built into firefox, safari, and chrome browsers now.

Thanks ,Jeff! Do you have any recommendations for a translation system that will automatically translate a web page?

Honestly, I myself run the google tooblar and use the google translator.
I like the ease with which I can one-click-translate and browse the then automatically-translated website. It works as well as babelfish for me, but I only use these for quick browsing.

In the last month or so, with the google toolbar, everything slowed down to the point of searches taking way too long. So I contacted Dell-still under warranty- and the rep said there was an issue with the google tool bar. When it was disabled searches were super quick again but I had lost spell check and translation! Very annoying. Do you have any suggestions as to what the real problem might be?
