Can someone please help? I am going out of my wits with this issue!

I have Un-Installed SQL-Server, Deleted ALL References, Re-installed, Re-applied Sp3a, Downloaded and applied the Help Update for this year. I have found and tried verious HH.EXE and HHCTRL.OCX files as mentioned in some other posts and other websites. Nothing seems to help.

I have the following configuration:
     Dell Inspiron 8200
     Win XP Pro
     SQL Server 2000 PERSONAL Edition
     Visual Studio 6
     Visual Studio .NET
    
I have the latest with the latest Service Packs and updates for everything. I still get the error:

     Cannot open the file: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Books\SQL80.col

I believe there might be a problem with the PERSONAL Edition installation. The SQL80.COL file did NOT exists after the FULL install even thought all the other chm's and chi's. I copied it from another computer I have that works fine but with Small Business Server. Still no good. I know it has something to do with HTML Help but no clue as to what.

Thanks,
Jacob
