After days of hunting & begging for help I finally come across a "man who can"
SFC SFC SFC they all say, trouble is doesn't seem to have much chance if the file is missing, indeed hhctrl.ocx was missing! Marvelous I thought, simple task of extracting from CAB, done it, job done I thought. Office help up & running a treat. Try windows help only to receive the following:- Cannot open the file: mk:@MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\Help\windows.chm. (What kind of path is that! I'm thinking virus or malicious program has changed it). Web search tells me hhctrl.ocx needs registering, go through the routines to discover missing regsvr prog, which turns out to be regsvr32 instead. (Microsofts instructions) eventually get it registered only to receive same error. Another web search tells me that I have the wrong version of hhctrl.ocx, not compatible with IE6 More searching & downloading more registering. Same flaming error, one more attempt at overwriting windows.chm from CAB. IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
Thank you for pointing me to that file.
I wish MS would not make that IE integral to it's operating systems, what really infuriates me is the fact that I hate the browser with a passion & very rarely use it! Opera is my browser of choice, it's just so much easier to turn options on/off access javascript, cookie control, referer, proxies, animated Gif, plugins, popup control all at the touch of F12 & the cache, history etc is all erasable without the need of third party programs to go & hunt down & clear index.dat on reboot.
Excuse my rantings & Thanks again, I'll be dropping by here more often.
