    I just installed the VS .NET 2005 Professional and the accompanied MSDN library in FULL. I am using them for a VC++ project and am having trouble with the local Help functionality: F1 help is broken. That is, if I position the cursor over a keyword (for example OnEraseBkgnd) and hit F1, it always displays the topic-not-found page. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Check your Help settings: Tools->Options, Environment->Help->Online Try setting it to "Try local first, then online" and see if that works. -- I've killed again, haven't I?

        I have tried that. The real issue is that sometimes the F1 help works, sometimes not. Any idea?
