IE7Pro is no longer compatible with IE8. The last release was around
Feb or Mar which was before IE8 was released. The add-on author never
divulged that he ever did any testing of IE7Pro against IE8 beta. The
developers have not visited the IE7Pro forums since around November of
last year. The admins and moderators have abandoned the forums with the
result that no one else can get elected to have admin rights to moderate
the forums and get rid of the spam and porn crap posts that have
infiltrated the forums. The isolation between frame and tab resources
under separate processes and other security measures in IE8 seems to
have thrown the IE7Pro developers into a loop and they have abandoned
this product.

You might get some portion of IE7Pro to work. Some won't work. Some
have workarounds but often they only function for those that have
"discovered" what worked under their environment. No matter how useful
you think was IE7Pro, it is no longer reliable and will cause problem
under IE8. The product certainly seems to have been abandoned. It was
a good utility but got dropped as happens with many freeware programs.
Uninstall IE7Pro and move on.

The ieSpell add-on gives you spellchecking in IE8 but it doesn't have
the on-the-fly checking of the spellchecker in IE7Pro. You need to
perform the spellcheck before you submit your form data. Also, there
are also been some reported problems with ieSpell. As I recall, there
was mention that you could select some text and spellcheck on just that
text but it doesn't always work anymore. So far, it has worked well
enough for me to keep ieSpell.
