Hi all, Here are some cures for various problems with viewing .chm (compiled html help) files from the MS web site. First, if you download a .chm file and left it in the "temporary internet files" directory when you tried to open it; this is a known problem (this happens if you simply try to choose "open" from a web site rather than "save"). Just place the file in some more ordinary directory to solve this issue. next: 1. Double-click the .chm file. 2. In the Open File-Security Warning dialog box, click to clear the Always ask before opening this file check box. 3. Click Open.
next: 1. Right-click the CHM file, and then click Properties. 2. Click Unblock. 3. Double-click the .chm file to open the file. next: you'll need to create a .reg file to make a registry entry. you then double-click (or press enter) on the .reg file for windows to process it; it will ask you if that's what you want, and you answer "yes". Here are the instructions: Paste the following text in a text editor such as Notepad. Then, save the file by using the .reg file name extension. This .reg file lets all content in the Intranet zone host the HTML Help ActiveX control. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions] "MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001 place the 3 lines above into a file named "fix.reg", save it, then from windows explorer press enter on the file name. answer "yes" when regedit asks you if you want to apply this file. make sure that one long line didn't get a line break in the middle of it. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission [email protected] (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.)
