Hi Gary,

Also try this:
(1) Quit Help Viewer if it is open.
(2) Open your Home > Library > Caches folder.
(3) Trash the com.apple.helpui folder.
(4) Empty the Trash.
(5) Restart.
The first time you launch Help for your Mac or a given application, you may still notice a slight delay in Help Viewer performance displaying the Help. This is due to the building of a new Help Viewer cache. Help Viewer performance will be considerably improved in subsequent launches of the specific Help information.

Cheers,
Ronni

I had this problem.
I deleted the pref files
com.apple.help.plist
And I think
com.apple.helpviewer.plist

And this solved the problem.
