MSDN was installed and I tried repairing and re-installing the July version
(latest I have). As mentioned in first post, the links do show up in the
dynamic help tab and are modified properly when navigating the code. I can
search help and the results pane shows the links to the related topics.

It is only when I click a link that I get the "Page Cannot Be Displayed"
message in the explorer and the Visual Studio main window title says "Cannot
find server".

Thanks.
