For some reaon I am no longer able to view the help files that normally pop up when I press F1. I have no idea what cause this or when this started. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Do you actually use that?

Occasionally. At the moment, I'm trying to learn 3D Studio Max 7 and the tutorials are in the same format as the help files so I can't vew them right now.

Do you have a guest account on this machine ?
If so, Does it do the same thing ?
If not, Make one and check it.

what format are the files in? chm???

 

[aye29]

I'm not sure what the format the help files are in but chm files dont work either. When I try to open one I get an error message:

"Cannot open the file: mkMSITStore:C:\[file name].chm."

sumÂ’n mightÂ’a takeÂ’n over your chm files. try this;

-Open up windows explorer
-go to [Tools]
-pick [Folder OptionsÂ…]
-then pick the [File Types] tab
-scroll down to the extension that says [CHM Compiled HTML Help file]
-then click the [Advanced] button
-under actions, click [open]
-then click [Edit] button
-the [Application used to perform action:] field should say ["C:\WINDOWS\hh.exe" %1]

sum'n else you can try is to open up dos and run [SFC /SCANNOW]

I wasnt able to find out what fixed the problem but it doesent matter now since I did a reinstall of Windows to update to SP2. Thanks for the help anyway.
