Hi
I run MS Office XP small business version 2002 (original software, not a copy). Whenever I open MS Word or MS Excel the spell checker immediately comes on screen and I cannot close it. It starts with a box saying 'spell check is complete' then when I ok that or delete it then goes to the full spell check box and I cannot ok, cancel or delete, it just beeps. The only way I have to get rid is 'ctrl alt del'. I have virus scanned with nothing found and cannot find anything online to help. I have also removed MS Office and reloaded it but that didn't help either. You will appreciate that a laptop without word or excel is next to useless. It is driving me mad, anyone know what to do?
I looked at MS website but they want $40 per question -unbelievable!
HELP.

Hi there stu22...don't worry, we only want $20 per question

I see you uninstalled Office but did you physically delete the Office folder in C:\Programs\ ? Office will retain some info (and problems) within the settings files held in that directory.

hi,
Tried what you said but it wont let me delete the only file left in c/programs/office which is MSOUTL.OLB (an office library file?). Says its being used by another program althoughI dont appear to be running any other programs -I'm online on another pc.
