Hi all, can anyone recommend me a free dictionary with a thasorous(can't spell, as you can see) feature?

I have a super old version of the American Heritage Dictionary, but for some reason when ever i leave my computer on for a few days, i can no longer run it because it complains that the "win 16 subsystem has insufficent resources to continue". Stupid thing........ and i don't want to restart my computer every day or so just to get this to work... so im looking for a nother one.

Any help would rock.

~Thanks

is what I use, you can add as many online dictionaries as you like

(Rclick arrow after installing > Google deskbar options > customized searches tab > add >


Name > Onelook Dictionary
URL > http://www.onelook.com/?w={1}&ls=a ...ally say [url]http://thesaurus.reference.com/
and add in a simple query say hell, youd get > http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=hell

change that to > http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q={1}
and add it to the customized searches
now you can directly query from the taskbar :D

PS I like onelook much better than any other online dictionary, it will give you a basic definition (lost in this case)

yea, ive worked with www.dictionary.com before, and i like them... but i was looking for a piece of software that would be on my hard drive, no need for an internet connection. Instead of google toolbars... no offense, i just don't like toolbars.
