Hello Fritz,

The CHM format is supported in Vista and should work unless your file
association is broken. Did you download the actual manuals from Nero?
The .chm files in the main Nero 7 Essentials download (7.8.5) are
empty except for an error message. They did this to reduce the size
of the download. However, the link to the full manual in the CHM file
is broken.

The "real" manuals have to be tracked down and downloaded individually
from various pages on the Nero site. Then you have to copy the
downloads over the existing .chm files, one by one. It's a real pain,
made worse by the fact that their instructions are incorrect!
