My GoldMine help files won't display, whats wrong?

This is caused by Windows update #KB896358, an HTML fix, that was released mid-June '06. This Windows update makes Microsoft think that running a .chm (Compiled HTML File) is a security risk over a network. There are several ways to correct this. On each effected workstation, you can remove the update by going through windows add/remove programs or you can modify a key in the Registry as described below.

Copy the following into notepad, save as a .reg file and then double-click on it to add it to the registry of each machine.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftHTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftHTMLHelp1.xHHRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001
"EnableFrameNavigationInSafeMode"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftHTMLHelp1.xItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000001

Prior Analytics highly recommend you backup the registry before carrying out this procedure.
