i need to download a spellchecker for xp 2000 home edition

[sheariney]

I use hotmail to send emails but unfortunately this edition does not appear
to have a spellchecker. Whenever i try to use it, it tells me that i need a
dictionary and an application that supports microsoft office or works.
What do i do?

What is xp 2000 home? There's no such app or os. Hotmail is web mail and uses
your browser, not Office. There is a spell checker at the web site for
Hotmail. Go to Hotmail, start an email, look under Tools for the checker.

Actually, you can still read Hotmail with Outlook Express. If you were doing
it prior to a particular date, which escapes me at this moment, you were
grandfathered in. Or if you pay for Hotmail, you can still use Outlook (or
OE, I forget.).
