First posting to group. Getting up to speed on 99SE and I have been reading the all the posts on problems which has helped me avoid a lot of pitfalls.
I've encountered a strange problem when loading 99SE and SP1 using WinXP Home edition on a Toshiba laptop. 99SE appears to function correctly, but the Windows Help and Support command in Start no longer runs. When I restore to a previous time, the help function runs correctly. I'm investigating what's being affected and will post a fix when I find the cause unless someone else has already figured it out and can post a resolution.
