If I don't have the Google toolbar I can simply download and install it. It's free!
OS stands for Operating System like Windows XP or Vista etc. If you open Help and Support and enter "spell check" as query it probably tells you how to enable it. When I run it on Vista the first answer I get is "1. Check spelling in a Windows Mail message".
If you're running Windows XP it tells you in Help and Support probably about how to enable spell checking in Outlook Express.
Your forum posts should be checked for correct spelling by your browser. I use Firefox; it does have a spell checker as well. As far as I know it is enabled by default. Maybe you need to install another dictionary still, if you need another language than English.
