Spell check doesn't check correctly

If it ain't one thing, it is another with this computer.
My spell check is having a nervous breakdown. It checks and offers alternatives for almost every word. This check can include words such as A or An, It, etc. At times I get spellings for words nowhere similar
In a paragraph similar in length to the preceding one, I might have suggetions for practically every word.
Plus, the auto check feature is not working
Anyone help? Appreciate any

You need to tell us what OS you are using and where this is happening - in a browser, in a word processor etc.

 

Mia copa, apologies
OS is Mozilla Firefox
Problem is in OEx, not sure about any other program - haven't needed to use it lately
Thanks

As you are using Outlook Express your OS is XP. Neither XP nor OE has a built-in spell checker so you must be using a third party one. Any idea what it may be? If not, have a look through Add/Remove and see if you can identify it. If you can then best to remove it and add this one from MG -
