Failed to launch help

Post by joelcsalomon »

That’s the message I get when I press “Help� in any TextPad dialog box—“Failed to launch help.�� If I double-click on the help file itself, I get the message “Cannot open the file: mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\system\TxPadEng.chm.�

I’ve tried re-installing, tried repairing, all to no avail. Does anyone have any advice for me?

To which version should I roll back? My copy of C:\WINDOWS\system32\hhctrl.ocx is version 5.2.3790.2453. I also have versions …1194 and …1280 available.
