No Spell checker in WP8...

[pjfarr]

I just installed WP8 on a new XP machine and have noticed the spell checker featured is greyed out. The Spell-As-You-Go, Thesaurus and Gammatik are available and work fine. I previously was using WP8 on a Win98 machine with no such issues.

Any idea?

Does the XP user have full administrative rights to the machine?

Hey DK - thanks for your reply.

Yeah, the administrator is me. But I figured it out with just a little more research. There's a prog called PFREG.exe in the Corel "Programs" folder. Start PFREG. It'll list all the components that makes WP8 tick. With all entries highlighted, click "Unregister" then select all again and click "Register". Close the window and all is well in Spellcheck land. (I think WP needs to be closed before executing the above mentioned shenanigans, though.)
