And why are American pints and gallons smaller than Imperial?

Perhaps this or that link will enlighten you a bit. You’ll have to scroll for the butter.

The log file for chkdsk is displayed in the Event Viewer under “System Events”. To open the Event Viewer go to
Control Panel>Performance and Maintenance> Administrative Tools>Event Viewer.

No to both questions.
But I solved the problem, and you put me on the right track !

For the record, in case anyone else suffers from Help-deprivation and 811630 doesn’t do its job: I deleted the key with the kill bit, i.e.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerActiveXCompatibility
{ADB880A6-D8FF-11CF-9377-00AA003B7A11}

and the thumbnails and links in all Help-files function again without a hitch.

Thank you very much, Jefferson.

1.) The relevant hh files are the same as those listed in 811630. Office SP3 didn’t replace them.

2.) The control’s GUID is the same as yours, {41B23C28-488E-4E5C-ACE2-BB0BBABE99E8}.

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerActiveXCompatibility that GUID is listed indirectly:
I found the key {ADB880A6-D8FF-11CF-9377-00AA003B7A11}
with the String Value
“AlternateCLSID” = {41B23C28-488E-4E5C-ACE2-BB0BBABE99E8} (same as above)
and the DWORD Value
“Compatibility Flags” = 0x00000400 (1024).
So there’s a kill bit set, but is it set for the correct control ?

Now what are the possibilities:
– should I delete the key, or
– should I leave it in place modifying the DWORD Value to 00000000 ? (Is there something as “unkilling bit” ?)

Cheers,

Nothing to do.
I had Help Update (811630) already installed when I installed that infamous patch, and I installed it again (just to be sure). Installer didn’ hoot or blast, so I suppose it was OK.
The last thing I downloaded was SP3 for Office 2000, and after that the links in HTML Help ceased to function. I know it’s not plausible and that the culprit must be one of the Windows patches, but I frequently use Help in all 4 Office application so I’m pretty sure about the time it happened.
Please, please, have some more ideas !

Sorry for answering so late, my ISP took a coffee break and reappeared after 20 hours.
I have 811630 installed since June, I made sure of that before asking here for help. I’ll check out the other links.
Thank you.

I thought so, but I don’t find specifics anywhere, neither the number of the patch nor registry hacks. I found just one person with that identical problem in a French forum but there was no solution offered.

S, thank you.
I have the Effects button on the Appearances Tab, I was looking for a full-fledged Effects Tab, but that was probably just a Windows 98 souvenir in my imagination.
The Effects button doesn’t have the options I was looking for, but I solved the problem by using TweakUI.
