Subject:.chm file not opening in Windows XP From:"Kwiatkowski Richard (ST-VS/DOC-La)" <Richard -dot- Kwiatkowski -at- us -dot- bosch -dot- com> To:"Techwr-l" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 11 Sep 2007 09:21:40 -0400
Hello All,
I use Windows 2000 and RoboHelp X5.0.2 Build (801) to create a small
HTMLHelp (.chm) help file for an application. The help file opens just
fine when I run the application from my Windows 2000 machine and select
Help from the Help menu or press F1 for the context sensitive help. The
problem occurs when a developer runs the same application from Windows
XP Service Pack 2. The help file does not open from the application
(Help menu item, F1), however, if he double-clicks the .chm file it
opens fine.
I checked the Adobe website, which led me to upgrade to X5.0.2. I
thought the problem was with the pop-up blocker in XP, but we turned
that feature off and still no luck. I also checked the Microsoft website
but could not find a solution.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard Kwiatkowski
