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!

LOL, your welcome ChiTown Rob.

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?

Hello Popzzz, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Did you already apply Option Two in this tutorial?

Shawn

Hi Shawn! (and thanks)

My bad ..... I was so frustrated I missed the third 'error' line (which was mine of course ..... duhhhh) but have now applied it and all's well in vistaland (until the next fiasco) once again .....

Many thanks!

LOL, no problem Popzzz. I'm happy to hear that you got it sorted.

Hi all, different angle to same question. I installed this on my vista home premium and it went fine, BUT my dads PC isnt on the internet nor is there an option of taking it somewhere with internet acess, so, the question is...

How do you install this on a PC with no internet access?

Hi Rickious, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It's your choice, but you could copy this file from your computer to something like a DVD or USB flash drive key, then from it, copy the file onto your dads computer to install.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
