No dictionairies in Version 1.6.4.0 ?

And there is no Tools| Speckie menu as far as I can see.

If you have the time, could you please contact me ? I'd really like to get to the bottom of this dictionary not installing issue.

I don't see where that is fair. Sure, we all want everything to work perfectly and as expected every single time but that's not reality. Now some makers tell consumers off and are not receptive to criticism. mauro has bent over backwards to address issues quickly with this new and unique product - which for most of us, works perfectly.

It's all good, Bill. It's impossible to please everyone :)

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this bug, but once I installed speckie, webpages took longer to load. About 5-7 seconds in some cases, visiting any site, from Google to here. Normally they pop up in a fraction of a second. After disabling speckie everything was good again. Using Win7 64 bit with IE9 RTM.

I have the same issue with the same config. It was really bizarre: might have been a conflict of add-ons but I really do not know which one could be the trouble maker because I have very few of them.

I wish I could give more information but I am clueless on that

I reinstalled my machine over the week-end. I'll give Speckie a new run ...

Give the current Beta a go

Pretty great job with this so far. It's given me a reason to use Internet Explorer 9. It's still missing a lot of things I require, but this makes it a good backup browser to Chromium.

Feel free to let me know what features you require :)

I did look there and I did not see any menu options for Speckie. After viewing your link, I looked again for "REAL" and it is not there either. I'd take a screenshot but clicking anywhere else closes the menu.

BTW - I know in IE8 you had to press the Alt key to see the "Main Menu" which contains the Tools Menu, but I think that trend started with IE7, and there was a simple "tweak" many applied. It is not new to IE9.

Another Beta is out. Those of you that experienced an issue with the 64 bit MSI installer, give it a try and see if it's fixed.

@Bill_Bright, the issue with the Tools menu is partly a bug in IE; it will show the Speckie menu item in the Tools menu for the very first tab only, not any subsequent tabs. Either way, it's simple to navigate to the settings via about:Speckie. FYI, you can hit the Print Screen key to take a screen shot of the entire desktop without it affecting any menu on display.

I am currently trying Speckie 1.6.4 downloaded yesterday. The Beta web page says 1.6.5 at the top and 1.6.4 at the bottom by the way.

So far, so good, I do not seem to experience the slowness again. Since I Triple-R'ed my workstation, I did not put everything I used to have. I will keep you posted if I ever get a problem after installing an other add-on.

That's 4 now, but It's all good, It's Impossible to please everyone. :rolleyes:

Yes, because inaccurate statements and trolling will fix it too. (Y) :rolleyes:

Mauro - good work buddy, keep it up. I'm yet to see issues on the numerous systems i've tried it on. :)

There is no Speckie or REAL menu in Tools, whether one tab or many. I find it hard to accept it is a bug in IE when other programs work fine. And about: Speckie? Where is that? There is no way that I can see to get to any "about". How do I access that? It almost seems as if we are talking about two different programs.

Also, no spelling support with pinned webpages is a problem. IESpell works perfectly with pinned sites.

I am using 1.6.5.

I did a test just now, here's the result. I wrote two sentences, and purposely put mistakes to see if Speckie would work. It did not catch anything, except for 1 word, and the minute I pressed enter to create a new paragraph all the red underlines disappeared.

This person on another forum has the same problem.

mauro I don't know what you did but all the problems I had, dictionaries not showing and Gmail freeze, are solved now. Excellent work en thanks a lot!! :cool:

IE9 is now my default browser.

Thanks for the feedback. I simply fixed up a couple of conspiring issues ;)

@Bill_Bright, There's a bug in the full installer at present that's causing the issue with the Speckie menu item. However, the single tab issue I've mentioned previously will still be there once I fix that up.

As for pinned sites, I've added it to the FAQ page that it's a limitation of IE. Clearly you don't believe that, so here's the IE team stating it.

To access the Speckie settings, in IE's navigation bar (where you type in URL's), type in about:Speckie and hit the Enter key.

If you feel IESpell is relative to your needs, by all means use it. I will not write hacks or work-around's to bypass IE's security.

I hope this clears up any confusion.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
