When right clicking on a spelling mistake in Outlook , it tries to change the signature

When creating an email in Microsoft Outlook you attempt to correct a misspelled word, however when you right click on the word, the signature menu opens instead of the spelling menu. This happens when you have a default signature at the bottom of your email , and is due to the fact outlook thinks your whole message is the signature due to : A) Deleted the first two blank lines in the email to the point where the first character in your email is the first character in your signature. or B) Hit Delete too much or used Backspace to the point where the first character of your signature is directly following the last character of your email. The best way round this is to not do the above or add “–” to the start of every signature!

Windows 7 Tape Drive Support

Windows 7 have removed Removable Storage Manager (RSM) service from Windows 7 Microsoft say “You can use RSM to manage online libraries (such as changers and jukeboxes) and track removable tapes and disks.” This means Windows NT Backup for Windows 7 and Server 2008 OS no longer included intergrated support for Tape Drives The way around this for Server 2008 is to install Nortons Backup Exec For Windows 7 , It seems the only tool I found that support this is http://www.uraniumbackup.com/index-en.aspx and http://www.backupassist.com/index.html but so far no free software

Outlook Express Spell Checker only in French

I had just upgrade a Users computer to Office 2007 , They wanted to use Microsoft Outlook for their work email and utilise Outlook Express for their peronsal email. However upon opening the spell checker it had been changed to the French dictionary. I also noticed that I was unable to change it back to the English dictionary.

Turns out this is noted fault from Microsoft! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Their solution is to download and install Windows Vista / Windows 7 New Version of Outlook Express = “Windows Live Mail”

I know how users get attached to their software , and the way it looks and feels! So luckily I found a solution so the user could still utilise Outlook Express Spell Checker

This is to Download and Install : http://www.snapfiles.com/downloads/dlspelloe.html ( Which is Spell Checker For OE 2.1 )

Just to note , this will only restore English ( United States ) Language
