A little advice if possible..

[bav101]

hi,Fred & Jim

 ! you Just reminded me used to have a spell check
cant find it at the mo, i wonder how long its been missing
have loads of probs with the pc, pay to have some one out, ten mins later after they have gone, it slows down again etc  
thinking about a new secondhand 1,    right of to find my spell check

Sorry don't want to take this thread off topic, but if you look at Bav's other thread Hello! he says "So if anyone needs any help with PC's feel free to send me a PM, I'll do my best to offer any advice I can." as you have helped him out here it could be worth you giving him a shout.  

Spell checking is easier remedy than a slow PC, but if you message me Dave i'll definitely try and help get your PC working to a point where its not running like its steam powered... btw have you tried turning it off and on again? I'm joking hehehe PM me and we'll see what we can sort out

As for spell checking you can either use a program like microsoft word to type your message into it at first and then copy and paste it into the message window. (highlight what you want to copy and then press Control (ctrl on some keyboards) and with the key pressed just tap C once to copy, take it to where you want to paste it and then press control and then V to paste it) also if its just the odd word, usually i've found that if i can spell something almost right but not quite i'll just put it into google and it'll spell check for me.
