I agree that your answer represents the most likely explanation, I was just hoping that there might be less painful solution. Oh well.

I just installed 2.4.1 (Vista) on my son's girlfriends' computer, and in the process I also updated here Java to 7. The Help files all work correctly. I also tried the same on a Win2KPro machine using Java 7 and that works correctly as well. It sounds as if the files in your OOo help directory have become corrupted. You can try reinstalling 2.4.1 (you did keep the download I hope :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (5.5.1.322) Database version: 5.10280e http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor/ E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (5.5.1.322) Database version: 5.10290e http://www.pctools.com/en/spyware-doctor/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
