Ahh, thank you for this info, I haven't tested it with the zoom. I'll look in to this ASAP.

Cool. I really need a Spelleck since the RC broke ieSpell. I also need to use zoom on my dinky 11.6" laptop. BTW, did you know that if you change Windows text to 125% it automatically makes IE's default zoom 125%?.

Also, here's a little tip for you IE9 users. The PrivacyChoice2 TPL blocks most ads.

Well we got problems on 2 systems with 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 and the default, 32-bit IE9RC. On both machines, speckie tags the misspelled words but there are no right click menu options. 64-bit works fine but again, 64-bit cannot be the default browser. So that's unfortunate.

I've released v1.5.1 which fixes the crash in the 64 bit version.

The crashing of IE9RC 64bit is gone with this new version thanks :)

Now Speckie v1.5.1.0 is having performance impact when browsing in google search with IE9RC. The scrolling is slow and makes the browser to hang for 2 or 3 seconds. I am also getting notifications of performance impact of Speckie v1.5.1.0 from the new Add-on Performance Advisor in IE9RC. The problem is gone when I disable Speckie v1.5.1.0 from the Add-on Manager in IE.

Windows 7 SP1 64bit

IE9RC

Running the IE9RC 32bit version.

@Bill_Bright, the 2 machines you're experiencing issues with, are they multi monitor setups ?

My main machine is a dual monitor setup with a NVIDIA card and Ultramon.
@Bill_Bright, does the issue you're experiencing with the 32 bit version happen on any web page or a specific one ?
Seems to be any webpage.

IE64 seems to be working for me now. I get an add-on warning of 0.24 secs delay (the default warning level is .20 secs). I have no problem with google searches. The zoom problem is still there so it's actually unusable on my laptop.

BTW, MS says there is no way to make IE64 the default browser, by design.

To ensure no misunderstanding, there's no technical reason 64-bit IE cannot be the default. It is just that MS does not allow Windows to accept it - yet.

I'm still looking in to the delay issue. Could you provide some more detail as to the zoom problem please ?

At 125% zoom, you have to click the word before the one you want to check or the space between words to get the list of possible corrections, or it may not work at all. BTW, Windows reports the add-on delay for IE32 at 0.82 secs (0.24 for IE64).

Thanks. The delay issue gets progressively worse. I'm still trying to reproduce it.

I've resolved the issue with the context menu not showing suggested corrections when the zoom is not 100% and also on multi-monitor setups.
FTR I've not used zoom and the right context problem happens on my notebook with its lone monitor too.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
