Default Problems with 'Windows Help'

Hi,

My 'Windows Help' is malfunctioning to the extent that in
the troubleshooting section, all the interactive parts do
not work - when 'next' is clicked, blank pages appear. I
have re-loaded Windows from my installation disc but the
problem is persisting.Please help in solving this problem.
Thanks.

Default Problems with 'Windows Help'

It is caused by a MS Critical Update.
The cure depends on what patch is causing you problems. Try this one first.
First, click Start Settings Folder Options View tab, and click to enable
"Show All Files" and click OK.

Click Start Find File or Folders, and search the C:\ drive for a file
named Tshoot.inf...it should be found in the \Windows\Inf folder.
Right-click Tshoot.inf and click Install on the menu that appears.
Close the Find Files window and try the Troubleshooter again.

If still no joy,go to this page to get a download that
will get your Tshooters back, but be sure to read the text file that is
enclosed.

The first file on the list.
Post back here to let us know how it worked.

Re-installing Tshoot.inf did not work. The download from
the page suggested by you worked. Many thanks.Regards,
