Some help functionality was changed with recent hotfixes which prevent Help
from being exploited on your computer:

Links in HTML Help Topics Are Unavailable or No Longer Work

You can always use the on-line Help:

There's a good chance that you have a registry problem: the registry
entries for the HTML Help ActiveX control may be broken. A number of
the security patches and service packs that Microsoft released last
year are known to cause this problem, including the cumulative
security patches for Internet Explorer and SP4 for Windows 2000.

To fix this problem on a machine with Windows 2000 SP4 installed, open
a Command Prompt window and enter the following two commands:

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

The first command unregisters the ActiveX control; the second command
re-registers it, thereby fixing the broken registry entries that are
responsible for the problem.
