Windows 7: Updating IE9

See if going to tools, manage add-ons and enable ie spell works for you.

That just proves I'm not the Master.

Ah, grasshopper. That would most likely work..... if I had the iespell add-on installed. I decided to try the speckie extension instead.

Er, maybe your post wasn't directed to me. This place is great - I forget more than I could ever learn

Does anyone remember that line from an old John Lennon song...

Well I got hit with a large dose of it, that's why I haven't been able to respond in time.

Sunday our Dryer's timer went out, and when I went to go and pick up the part yesterday the brake lines on my '03 Silverado started leaking. The '99 to '06's were noted for that.

I was able to get home okay, and today I found a local mechanic, and had it towed there. Should have it back by Friday.

So with all the running I'm shot, and I'm not really able to concentrate on all of your valuable advice.

I'll try, and have updates by Thursday latest.

I will say I didn't think Calvary looked right, and thought it should've been spelled differently. (Cavalry) maybe it was intended, and I think I have ieSpell and Adobe Reader straightend out.

No hurry Steve, they get paid by the hour

A Guy

Who? - that Cavalry? - we wish!

Then I must have a big check on the way. I learn something new every day here. Better start shopping at Newegg.

I was going to try and answer all the replies in quotation style, but that can get messy quick so I'll try to hit the high points. I will keep some quotes for clarification.


I have ieSpell and Adobe Reader straightened out. I had to do a reinstall of ieSpell, and enable Adobe Reader in CCleaner.


That's the rub....I did uninstall, but there are some leftover Folders/Files.
Do I try to remove the leftover Folders/Files (Is there a Silverlight removal tool?) or update them with the hidden updates?
I have not received any new updates for Silverlight since the uninstall.


UsernameIssues,
I looked at that About IE in the help menu again, and if you notice there on the second line it (mine) says Update Versions 9.0.10 KB2744842 I take that to mean that my IE9 is updated up to, and including KB2744842

Does anyone have a higer update version?



This is another style that I will have to get used to, I prefer the red squiggly lines under a mis-spelled word then right clicking, and picking the correction from the context menu.

The XSS warnings have stopped since the Security reset to default levels.

I have hidden Silverlight updates, and I uninstalled Silverlight.
I need to know about those leftover Folders/Files. Refer to my answer to Noel above.


Paid by the hour? Wouldn't it be less expensive if we were on salary?


Well the Dryer's working again, and I just got a call from my mechanic that the truck is ready.
I feel that my questions about IE9 and then some have been answered so I'll mark this thread solved, but open to further discussion.



If anyone feels I missed something or you need further clarification please post back, otherwise....



Thank you Troopers I am putting y'all in for a unit citation! At ease!

As far as the hidden Silverlight updates are concened, I'd Unhide htem, then do a Check for Updates, and re-hide any that come up again - if you find that you need Silverlight for anything, you'll be prompted to install it, and you'll then have to contend with the updates afresh if you do.

I wouldn't bother about the residues - but don't try and rip them out by hand, as that may cause problems when/if you reinstall.

Did what you suggested and found one more Sliverlight (SL) update. Hid that one also, but it seems that those five have now become one with a 12.5MB total.I will contend with the updates if I have to, but I know I will let sleeping dogs lie.



Acknowledged, I felt a sense of "Clockwork Orange" when you said "rip them out by hand "
