Out-of-date versions of the hhctrl.ocx file is probably the cause. You
should delete all copies of hhctrl.ocx on the disk that are not in the
\system32 folder. Make sure you have the latest version of the hhctrl.ocx
file (you can get this from Windows Update).
Some users have had success by re-registering the hhctrl.ocx file using
these instructions. From a command prompt window, type
regsvr32 /u hhctrl.ocx -- to unregister
regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx -- to re-register
Also, it sounds like you don't have the most recent version of Books Online.
You should download the January 2004 version from
www.microsoft.com/downloads. Enter SQL Server as the product and Books
Online as the keywords.
