In attemptng to preserve some of my files during a breakdown I used a backup
programme which produced some files labeled .dbx.

For some inexplicable reason I am unable to restore them to the original
places, but it would be helpful if I could see what is in them and perhaps
get them ito a folder where I can see them and work on them.

And, how can I get the spell checker to work?

I'm using win xp home, if it makes a difference.

Please keep it simple as the senile decay is quite advanced!

TIA
