And I have a fix! Right-click on your "dx4win" icon (from the Start menu) and select Properties. In the "Start in:" box, if it's blank, copy the path from the "Target:" box, leaving off dx4win.exe, i.e.: Start in: c:\program files\dx4w703 Now "Apply" and "OK". Then start DX4WIN. I did this and now help is working. 73 - Jim AD1C --- Tony Lord <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Paul, > > Having read this thread I thought I would check out my help file and I came > across a very funny/strange result. > > If I open DX4WIN 7.013.16 via start/programmes/dx4win then the help file > will not load, it says, "Could not get contents, Error = 0, Msg = the > operation completed successfully". > > However if I open DX4WIN via MyComputer/C drive/Program Files/DX4W703 and > double click on the programme file, then when DX4WIN is launched, Help files > open and work!
