fffanatics 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I personally have not exeperience this error but it sounds like you might no have internet access and thus cant get to the file. This is just my opinion and could be wrong but i would check your internet connectivity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Almost sounds like the Help system got corrupted, I would trying reinstalling the help file system and see if that works. From the general searching I did it seems the XML file that is used by the help and support might be corrupted, but I would suggestion searching around vista support at microsoft's website and see what can be found.

techclave 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2007 Vista's help system works mostly online. It will give you very little information if you are offline. Once you go online you will be presented with a full fledged hedlp service. Maybe in your case the help feature is trying to go online when you are still offline. Try checking the help ferature when you are online. If it does not rectify the error then I think 'Saint Michael' is right. The help system might have corrupted. Good luck!
