    Hi all, I know this is not a C# relating question, didn't found a better forum .... but I read so much and I tried much more... The problem: I compiled a .chm helpfile with a correct linked html-file-site structur. Outside the .chm file everything works fine. I used different tools and I came always to the same result - the contens side stays blank (than means - the typical message ... there is no internet connection ....comes up) I registered the .chm file in the registry and controled that. I set the correct accesslevel in the registry to Nr. 2 (means that local rights are accepted) I decompiled my .chm file to see that the html-files are realy included - all seems to be fine. What more is to do that the .chm contens will be shown ??? Thanks Regards, Frank

      I've seen issues like that crop up due to Privacy Settings in the Internet Options. Try adjusting those to be less restrictive and see what happens. You might also try making sure your CHM is on your local computer's hard drive rather than on a networked drive. Just a few things to check out.

        You say you have tried lots, so it is difficult to know what to suggest. However I have had this problem a few times and it has always been #2 from this[^] that has caused my problems. If you haven't already done so can I suggest that you google for problem with chm file blank contents, there are lots of hits.

            Hi Henry, there are realy some more suggestions to solve the problem. I will follow your links. Will see what will happen. But i fear I can't deploy a .chm file with my application due to similar expected problems on the clients. Isn't there a more reliable (local) help technology on the market than .chm ? Thanks, Regards, Frank
