My MacHelp disappeared.
The help viewer pops up briefly and "poof" gone.
Try repairing permissions from disk utility, and deleting from ~/
Library/Preferences the files com.apple.help.plist,
com.apple.helpui.plist and com.apple.helpviewer.plist if that
doesn't work.
Sorry Cliff, I used some Unix terminology in there:
"~/Library/Preferences" means the folder Preferences in your home
directory's Library folder.
"~" is Unix shorthand for "The current user's home directory".
On my computer "~/Library/Preferences" is the same as "/Users/johnson/
Library/Preferences" if I am logged on.
This distinguishes it from /Library/Preferences, which is the Library
folder at the root of your drive, when you look at it you see
Library, System, Users, etc. This stores some system-wide preferences
and in general doesn't need messing with.
Deleting those plist files is the same as deleting a preference from
the old System Folder:Preferences folder on OS 9 systems.
