So, it seems you are using Windows. One possibilty is that your
Windows security settings are stopping you displaying CHM help files:
if you have control over these you could try to resolve that.
Another alternative is to change the default type of help used: the
settings for that are in the file etc/Rprofile.site in the R
installation. If you don't have permission to change that, you could
use e.g.
options(chmhelp=FALSE, htmlhelp=TRUE)
in a .Rprofile file in your home directory.
Finally, R-24~1.1 looks like an old version of R, and you could
install a current version: the installer will ask if you want custom
settings and if you select that, ask you for the default type of help.

Hi list,
When I type my question in R console using ? sign (example: ?par, when I
want to query for par), the following error message popps up:
Error in
print.help_files_with_topic("C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-24~1.1/library/maps/chm/map") :
CHM file could not be displayed
That does not seem to be the message that goes with the example.
I appreciate if any body comes back to me with the solution.
Regards,
Alireza
