Weird problem with SpellCheck & IE7

I have somewhat of a problem and I need help or an explanation.

I'm running XP Pro SP2 (fully patched), Word 2002 SP3.

Prior to a recent download and installation of the 'Word 2007 File
Compatibility Pack', I was able to have IE7 & Word opened and do spelling
checks within a Word document. Now, with both opened, I get error messages
that certain .dlls (msspell3 or msspp232.dll) can not be found.

If I close IE7, then I can spell check like before without errors.

I know, a way to test if the 'Compatibility Pack' caused the problem is to
un-install and test; but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this
problem and is there a resolution, if any, to it.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated..
