When I've run across this, copying the helpfile to a local disk has fixed the problem. You can also lower your MSIE security settings for one of the zones (intranet, perhaps?) and, IIRC, that fixes it too. I just copied the file I wanted to read to a local disk...

Jeremy Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) New security in a recent SP2 update.Which update? Link?When I've run across this, copying the helpfile to a local disk has fixed the problem.Where do you think the help file is? Locally. C:\WINDOWS\Help or the files are stored in the Program's folder. C:\Program Files\Program\helpfile.chm.Gilbert, make sure you have your Windows XP Installation CD in your CD/DVD drive for the following:Download and run Dial-A-Fix (check everything off) and click "Go". Then click the Hammer icon, highlight "Reinstall Help and Support service" and click Go again. See if that helps.

Jeremy Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 The quickest and easiest solution I can think of is to do a repair install. Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put the .CHM file on your desktop and 2x click on it, does anything different happen? 2. If you change your MSIE local / intranet security settings to be essentially wide-open (low security), does anything different happen?3. Are all of your MSIE security zones set to the default levels?4. Is your computer or "home" (127.0.0.1) listed in any of the lists in any of the security zones?

If it does the same thing, it's probably not this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
