Simon,

The spell correct engine is a plugin for vBulletin hence why I need it to run via vBulletin.

This plugin actually works great, but the only downfall is that it will not work on Windows platform. My boss wants it to work on all systems so unfortunately this solution will not work for my case...although it's a clever plugin. Thanks, Lynne.

From more troubleshooting, it appears the issue is related to an existing plugin. I'll have to figure out which one.

Thank you everyone for your help.
