| | RE: Using "help" Are you connected to the Internet? Help uses Online Help by default. If you don't want to use online help, open help & support, options, settings, uncheck online help.

| | Re: Using "help" Try the fix offered at this site: Fix Windows Vista Help and Support http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/kmk...d-support.aspx It re-associates the .xml file type to its default settings. A recent installation of a program may have "stolen" the .xml association.
