No, it's not, Vista removed the Win32hlp program used to read old .HLP
formatted files, to restore function to old .HLP files there is a kb
(knowledge base) article on the Microsoft site where you can download an
application so Vista can read those old help files again.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

Tells you how to install WinHlp32.exe for Vista, but I've found this
sometimes still doesn't completely fix the problem. Basically Microsoft
doesn't like .hlp files so they are phasing them out. Hopefully this
will get the help files to come up on your system.

If not you can always install Win2k via Virtual PC 2007 or something.
