  • Thought there is some problem in windows 8 Consumer Preview. Used a chm to html converter first and then passed by this article. This solution is, well, embarrassingly simple! :-)
    THANKS!

      • Can't Read CHM Fille Content - But no Unblock in Properties

        On a client's Windows 7 computer and their Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, there is no Unblock appearing in the properties of my CHM file - yet it still will not show the content on the right pane with the same "Navigation to the webpage was canceled". Did anyone find a solution?

        Please don't repeat the Unblock answer.

  • Navigation was blocked solution

    Hi guys,

    I found a simple but a head-scratching solution. Just right-click on the .chm file and click properties. Then press the Unblock button. After that you should be able to open the .chm.

    Hope this helped :)

  • Thanks! I don't get how MS

    Thanks! I don't get how MS thinks browsing a file is the same as opening it. It's after all their own file format.

  • Great article

    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.
