downloading dictionaries

Post by johncr »

Please let me know how to download dictionaries. All I get is the Free Download Accelerator, an applet I don't need.

Try this page http://www.textpad.com/download/lexicons.html
Right click and save target as.
If you do not get the file you aim for you might have a browser hijack on your system. Update your anti virus software. HTH

s_reynisson,

I received the installation file from a friend and per your response, I decided to download the last program version and now everything works as expected.

The problem was not the dict files but the Textpad program. Textpad, triggered the "Free Download Accelerator" installation, as soon as an attempt was made to install a dictionary. Other than that it worked fine.

No doubt this was a hacked version my friend downloaded somewhere in the net. Where? Who knows.

Thanks for helping.

It's possible this is a pirated version (a cracked version using a diffrent installer etc).
I'm sure Helios would like all the info you could give them on the matter, you can use
the feedback form http://textpad.com/support/feedback.php to report this.
