Re: Help and Support in Vista

Hi Brink:

I'm a "newbie" in your forum and wasn't here for more than 5 minutes when I found your solution to my problem.

I also downloaded and installed Microsoft's WinHelp program for Vista. After installation, I continued to get the "1037" macro error message. I followed your advice, downloaded the Add WinHelp.reg Patch and merged it into my registry.

It appears my problem has been eliminated. Brink, I can see why "Nobody messes with Texas". Thanks!

Re: Help and Support in Vista

Hi, (and thanks)

I have a problem with "windows help and support" system that I have not been able to find an answer for.

When I try to open help in vista ultimate, it pops an internet explorer window that says "cannot download / from windows" and the windows help and support window remains blank.

I have patched the 'old' help system which works fine but this above problem pops up when trying to access the 'new' help system.

Thanks in advance,
popzzz

Oooooops ..... I thought I was posting this under the "Help and Support won't start" thread .....
Perhaps you could move it?
