I have a certin amout of,Windows hotfix on my computor.Do i really need them,
as thy are taking up space on my computer,and can i cancel them without
doing any damage to my computer?

Joe, I do think you should leave all of the hotfixes in place, Hotfixes
"fix" problems with Windows, such as security holes. If you want to delete
stuff from your computer, try running Disk Cleanup, deleting old photos,
music, movies, and documents, and uninstalling programs you don't use.

The dictionary that OE needs comes from Microsoft Office products. If you
don't have Microsoft Office you won't have the dictionary OE needs to work
properly. You can purchase any Office product, for instance, Microsoft Word,
and you'll be good to go.

The Yahoo news groups might be a better place to get an answer regarding this.
