From: TedF on 7 Jan 2006 14:38 In my Win 98 computer, VB6, IE6 with SP1. When I open help in Visual Basic 6, and select any tab other than the Contents Tab. When I click a link in the page I get error: mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio\MSDN98\98VSa\1033\vbenlr98.chm::/HTML/vafctdir.htm Also the Example images on top of page don't show. I tried changing Jave settings but would not fix the problem. I did reinstall HTMLhlp, it seems that it fixed it but the problem is back. I think the problem started when I allowed upgrading to IE 6.0 or IE SP1 ??? from Microsoft update page. Hope somebody can help, thanks.

What do you have set for the active subset? This is found at the very top of the navigation pane (the left pane). Is it set to "Visual Basic Documentation" by any chance? If so, you can have problems with links because the topics for those links are (in a very, and overly, strict sense) not "documentation". Try setting the active subset to "Entire Collection" and see if things work. If so, either leave it at entire collection or create a custom subset (from the View menu, select Define Subset). There are some known problems with MSDN Library, but this one is the closest I can find to what you describe: PRB: "An Unexpected Error Has Occurred" Opening HTML Help Topic http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193369/en-us For example, if you didn't do a full install, you *could* get this error if the CD is not in the drive. You *should* get prompted to insert the CD, but I've seen where you sometimes don't and get this error instead. I also think this error is more prone to occur with the stripped down MSDN Library included with VB. I've never seen it happen with the "full" version, but I definately remember it occuring with the "Visual Studio 6.0a" edition. -- Mike Microsoft MVP Visual Basic
From: TedF on 8 Jan 2006 23:22 The "Entire Collection" was selected OK. I fixed the problem by un-installing an IE update, stupid me didn't write down the update number. It had some of these numbers Q9872. Most likely it is Q896358 HTML Help security update. Thank you very much with your help.

Just found an article about it http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896358 MS falling in its own wits, can't even read a help file. MS trying to make windows web based was a big mistake. Can't believe that IE settings controls the operating system, instead of the other way around. I am glad I never migrated to html help.
