Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 9 Beta (64-bit) Spell Checker |

Internet Explorer 9 Beta (64-bit) Spell Checker Hello -
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or if this browser is currently discussed in another thread. If so, could someone move this for me?
I just downloaded the newest version of Internet Explorer 9 Beta 64-bit. However, I'm a bit disappointed that I didn't find a spellchecker embedded into their new browser. I'm used to iespell in the 32-bit browser, but it does not load in the 64-bit browser.
I like to use the spell checker at various times as I post on forums and other places and would like to have something "watching my back" as I type.
Any suggestions? What other little add-ons are available for this browser?

I've looked but I can't seem to find it. I now use 64-bit browsers as Adobe finally added support for 64-bit as stated in another thread. However, my spell checker no longer works.
Minefield (Firefox x64) has a built in spell checker, but I keep getting this error every time I load Minefield:

I'd use Minefield for the spell checker, but it wants to crash, and I want to use a 64-bit browser now that Adobe supports 64-bit. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number N/A OS Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition @ 3.0GHz OC to 3.5 GHz Motherboard MSi 785 GT-E63 Memory 8GB OCZ 1066MHz DDR2 Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Sound Card Onboard 7.1 High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 17" Envision Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 Keyboard Logitech EX 110 Wireless Mouse Logitech EX 110 Wireless PSU 550w Case Thermaltake Cooling 4 120mm case fans Hard Drives 250GB Seagate Sata Internet Speed 1-3MB/sec Download |

As most of the I.E. add-ons are still 32 bit, it's usually better to use the 32 bit I.E. Even in Win 7 64 bit systems, the default I.E. is the 32 bit version. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built OS Windows 7, 64 bit Professional.

Windows 7 x64 does not allow me to set IE 9 beta x64 as the default browser. However, I can set Minefield (Firefox x64) as the default browser. Odd.
Also, on the Mozilla forum I found the answer to the error I was receiving above:

If it is not that one, try disabling other extensions until you find the culprit.

I am running an older x64 build of Firefox (Namoroka, v. 3.6.3) without any problems at all. Granted, I use no add-ons and my only plug-in is Java x64. No flash, thank you very much. There are no problems with the spell-checker whatsoever. IE8 x64 also runs well, but I'm just used to Firefox.
Now, what you are talking about are beta versions, I would not expect them to be trouble-free anyway, so if you are keen on IE, I would suggest IE8 x64.
As far as add-ons, is there really something in any of these browsers that you are really missing, or you are just curious about what else can be done with them? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 530 OS Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) CPU Q6600 Memory 8 GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Syncmaster P2450 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Hard Drives Samsung HD103UJ

As far as add-ons, is there really something in any of these browsers that you are really missing, or you are just curious about what else can be done with them? The beta versions run fine, honestly. I fixed my Minefield (Firefox x64 build) error using what I posted above.
Minefield does come with its own built in spell checker like the 32 bit Firefox does. I was wondering if there was such a thing for IE 8 64-bit or IE 9 Beta 64-bit. And yes, I would like to know what can be done with the browsers. I already like the added "search" built within the address bar. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number N/A OS Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition @ 3.0GHz OC to 3.5 GHz Motherboard MSi 785 GT-E63 Memory 8GB OCZ 1066MHz DDR2 Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ Sound Card Onboard 7.1 High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays 17" Envision Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 Keyboard Logitech EX 110 Wireless Mouse Logitech EX 110 Wireless PSU 550w Case Thermaltake Cooling 4 120mm case fans Hard Drives 250GB Seagate Sata Internet Speed 1-3MB/sec Download |

There are add-ons available to fill the void, for example ieSpell (which is free). However, I do not use it myself and thus can't say whether it will work with the 64-bit version of IE, the website does not say anything about it, at least nothing that I could see in a minute. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 530 OS Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) CPU Q6600 Memory 8 GB Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Syncmaster P2450 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Hard Drives Samsung HD103UJ
