There is something in SP4 that breaks the registry entries for the
HTML Help ActiveX control, which is the component that provides the
navigation facilities in the help files. (Probably a security patch
for Internet Explorer is to blame.)

Most people find that they can fix this problem by unregistering the
control and then re-registering it. To do this, run the following two
commands from a command prompt:

regsvr32 /u <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 <drive>:\winnt\system32\hhctrl.ocx
