When I use a link in windows 2000 pro help I get the
following error: "an error has occurred in the script on

Hi

Start with unregistering and registering hhctrl.ocx in a command prompt
(cmd.exe) or from Start/Run:

regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx


And unless you have SP4 for Win2k installed, you should install this one:

HTML Help Update to Limit Functionality When It Is Invoked with the
window.showHelp( ) Method
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=811630

From MS03-048 "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (824145)" at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-048.asp:

As with the previous Internet Explorer cumulative updates that were released
with bulletins MS03-004, MS03-015, MS03-020, MS03-032, and MS03-040, this
cumulative update causes the window.showHelp( ) control to no longer work if
you have not applied the HTML Help update. If you have installed the updated
HTML Help control from Knowledge Base article 811630, you will still be able
to use HTML Help functionality after you apply this update.

Unregistered and registered hhctrl.ocx. Re booted for
good measure and no change :(. I do have sp4 installed.
I am running MSIE 5.5. Would that contribute to the
problem?
