    Hi, problem: When I launch MSDN Library (separately or by pressing F1 in Visual C++) it immediately sucks down every available resource and just sits. I can see the hh.exe (MSDN) process in the task list, but it hangs. No windows pop up or anything. I think, there is a problem with the HTML Help system. I have tried to uninstall and re-install MSDN, IE5.5 and Win2000 but it didn't help. Does anyone knows what to do? tnks, Phil system: Win2000SP2, VS6 enterpr. SP5, IE5.5SP1

        Same here. One time after a crash this behavior started and my only remedy was to reinstall MSDN. After which everything worked fine (I did try recreating my project dynamic files, etc). --Mark Terrano www.ensemblestudios.com (Creators of the Age of Empires series)
