Walter,
Whenever I try to open any .chm file I get the error
Cannot open file:mk
msitstore:c:\help\calc.chm (calc can
be replaced with any of the chm files)
I'm running Windows 2000 SP4, IE6 SP1.
Here are some things to try:
1) Use MJ's Help Diagnostics to check that all the help viewer
components are properly installed and registered.

(The only section of the MJ's Help Report that is relevant to your
problem is the one headed "HTML Help Run-time Components".)
2) Delete the file hh.dat, which you should find in this directory:
\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\HTML Help
The hh.dat file stores user-specific information on all the HTML Help
files on your system (favourite topics, changes that you've made to
the size and position of a help window, etc.), and can cause the files
to misbehave if it has somehow been corrupted. Windows will create a
new version of hh.dat when you next open any .chm file.
3) Empty your Temporary Internet Files directory. A full TIF directory
can cause HTML Help files to misbehave.
