help in ie 6 in windows xp pro sp2 is not working.

I just get hourglass when trying to access information.

I have reinstalled service pack 2, reinstalled windows xp pro with sp2, run
fix ie.

I can't find any reference on google or microsoft kb about fixing help
files.

There must be a file that holds this help information and it may be corrupt
or the help program is pointing to the wrong place. either way there should
be an easy fix for this if some one knows what it is.

thanks

On further investigation. the help files iexplorer.chm works fine if
accessed outside of internet explorer.

but if accessed from within ie, it shows the list of topics, but any topic
that does not list a subtopic, when clicked on locks up the program and
closing the help program also shuts down ie.

this is very strange.

any ideas

thanks

jon
