Windows

Does this window appear when you open CHM files ?

This happend to me after upgrading to Internet Exporer 7.

If you are wondering why you cant read the CHM files, just do the steps below :

Close the CHM file
Open it again and you will get the same popup as shown below
Uncheck the checkboxAlways ask before opening this file (Highlighted in the image above).
Press Open

Now it should work Smiling /p>

For some reason this did not work for me under Windows Vista Business.
My problem was cause by windows blocking the help file. I had to go to properties and "Unblock" the file.

I found nice instructions with screen shots on this site.

I spent half an hour looking for a solution and downloading installers off of msft download center before i came across this article. Worked like a charm in windows 7.

thanks
