Mr. Arnold

All I get now is help topic not found and the content is under construction.
This is when I start-up H&S or try to find any topic in the search box.

I really don't know why H&S has gone on the blink like this with the
messages.

Help Topic Not Found

Mr. Arnold,

Yes, you can copy and paste this below between the lines into Notepad
and name it whatever.reg. Afterwards, just right click on it and click
Merge.

Well, I do see that the H&S is working in a limited capacity, which it may
have been doing all a long:

1) If you go to help from a Vista feature with on-line H&S setting enabled,
it will show the help topic. But it's not formatted.

2) If you do have H&S off-line setting enabled when doing #1, then one gets
the error screen I have posted.

3) If I start H&S from Start button menu, then I get the screen that I have
previously posted.


It's not a show stopper but gee what can be said about this, other than,
it's not good.
