I was wondering WHY my Win 8.1/64bit laptop did NOT have the problem with the Winhlp32.exe file ... So, yesterday, when I was waiting for Earl to test his findings -- I looked at my 8.1/64 laptop and found that I HAD TRIED to download the KB3000850 back on March 10, and 11 of 2015.. BUT both attempts FAILED... So, that is the reason why I did not have a problem with Winhlp32.exe like some of the DXbase users..
So, as a TEST - I tried to download KB3000850 again (770Megs - YES that BIG!!) .. half-way thru it stopped downloading completely. So, I stopped the install. I was hoping to do some testing on my own computer. Just FYI 73 Joe wa6axe On 03/22/15, Neal Campbell<nealk...@gmail.com> wrote: I am pretty sure that KB3000850 is the culprit for this as well as not being able to rerun the update to install the proper winhlp32.exe I am surprised how difficult it was but once you understand the steps that caused the problem, its easier to fix. I am so appreciative to Joe and all the others who spent hours on learning how to back this stuff out! 73 Neal Campbell Abroham Neal LLC On Sun, Mar 22, 2015 at 5:04 PM, K2LS <k...@triad.rr.com> wrote: > > I repaired mine in a slightly different fashion. > > I have a piece of software that let' s me take control of _ANY_ windows > file.
