Rick,

produces this error message. "This operation can only

There is something in SP4 that breaks the registry entries for the
HTML Help ActiveX control, which is the component that provides the
navigation facilities in the help files. (Probably a security patch
for Internet Explorer is to blame.)

Most people find that they can fix this problem by unregistering the
control and then re-registering it. To do this, run the following two
commands from a command prompt:

regsvr32 /u <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
