| Vista home premium | Re: Help and Support in Vista Dear Shawn: I installed Winhlp32.exe patch but now there's an error after opening help files: "There was a problem running the macro (1037)". According to "Doug M. in NJ" I should add this syntax to my registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WinHelp] "AllowProgrammaticMacros"=dword:00000001 "AllowIntranetAccess"=dword:00000001 Doug Says "the syntax above is for a .REG file. Paste the lines into Notepad, then save and merge the file." I have never added something to registry, so I need a little more explanation please!! What should be the extention of notepad file? and how it should be merged?... Sorry if it is a dumb question. Thanks: Borna |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Help and Support in Vista Note: If you're using 64-bit Vista, the registry fix above won't work. You need to change a different key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WinHelp] "AllowProgrammaticMacros"=dword:00000001 |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Help and Support in Vista Hi Rita, Thank you for providing this, but are you sure? When I go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft location in the registry, I do not even have a WinHelp key there. ![]() Both Microsoft KB articles that you are referring to from above say that it is for the 64 bit Vista as well. The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included in Windows operating systems starting with Windows Vista and Download details: WinHlp32.exe for Windows Vista You may be correct, but could you provide a KB article or something on this to help clear up any confusion? Thank you, Shawn |
