There's usually an actual cause for everything,
such as something that occurred shortly before.

Any ideas at that end?

Try copying file "UserJunkDB.txt" from that system to yours.

But first, Jim H might like to know,
what are the first ten lines from that file
on your currently freezing system?

Oops, I meant "uchange.tlx" and "uignore.tlx"
(or any other *.tlx, if I forgot one)

The first few lines of each file, from the "bad" system,
may still be of interest.

Thanks
This files seem to be the same in both Eudoras
Do not remember anything different. Was working fine a few days ago
and yesterday it just doesnt work
It highlights the mispelled word but does nothing. Pressing enter not
unfreezes it but the word remains mispelled.

I don't understand what you just wrote.

Are you in "sponsored" or "paid" mode?

Are you using "check spelling automatically as you type,"
or "Edit" > "Check Spelling"?

What exact actions do you perform?
(right-click on "redlined" word, or click a specific button, etc.)
and then what results?

Meaning of header: #LID 1033 1 7

#LID 1033 is the language ID for language dictionaries
(E.g. 1033=American, 2057=British)
1 is a lexicon type number (0=auto_change,1=ignore,2=suggest,3=exclude)
7 is the number of entries (word lines) in the file
(lines in types 0 and 2 are "change_this:to_this")

My own "uignore" says "#LID 0009" rather than "#LID 1033"

Katrina also suggests "#LID 0009" for the _user_ files,
though I do not know whether this is necessary
(do you know how your "uignore" became "#LID 1033"?)
