HELP Pictograms missing - Red X

[Maria MS]

Sudeenly my HELP pictograms have vanished, only showing a Red X.
When clicked the underlying functions work OK, opening texts etc.
Just all pics are missing.

I remember various forumdiscussions years ago about Red X's instead of missing pictures in
webpages...
Is this the same behaviour?

I have Windows Media Player set for most of my filetypes, if that is involved at all.

Any clues how to get the pics back in HELP?

Curious,
Maria

You could try this registry fix:

This is the great thing about the newsgroups... post a question, get an answer after an hour and it is spot-on accurate.

Just installed the proposed software, merged the registryvalues, rebooted and HELP works excellently, showing all pictures again.

Thanks dean-dean for posting Ramesh Srinivasan's winhelponline.com solution, which was very helpful.

Ciao, Maria
