Re: [libreoffice-users] Spell check for 3.4.5 on Win7 not working

Hi :)
Hmm, weird.  Perhaps it's too high a version of java?  Is it using a more recent version than 6u21?
Regards from
Tom :)

Her laptop is faster than my quad.  It is a desktop replacement.

There is hardly any space used on the drive itself.  She has not had 
time to place anything on it.

I wish I had a machine as fast as her laptop.

I still have to add Virus protection and other utilities as well.  LO 
was the first package to be installed on the thing.  I added some video 
files [less than 3 Gig total] to the laptop so she could watch them later.

So I doubt it is an issue with a too full system or one needing to be 
defragged, etc., etc..  She has had it less than 1 week and I said, I 
was the first one to place anything on the drive.  She does not even 
have Internet yet.
