Re: SQL 2005: Help files not valid?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi io

Thanks for replying... I do indeed have dexplore.exe though on this
particular setup the system is on my D: drive.

I'm certain I installed BOL and in respect to your last question, I just
installed Visual Studio 2005 which, now I look, is also failing to display
help. Even the MSDN documentation that came with it is failing :@( All
shortcuts etc. appear in the start menu as expected.

I'vr btoken something havent I...

Cheers

Mark
