Unable to open .chm files:Plz help

[rakeshishere]

Did you register the dll file as mentioned in the link I provided in the earlier post?

Run "regsvr c:\windows\system\hhctrl.ocx"

Arun

when trying to register the dll file i get a msg that "cannot find the dll file hhctrl.ocx"

Then, locate the file and revise the command to show correct path... If it is in system32 folder, run "regsvr c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx"

are there any special characters in the filename or path ???

I had a folder called "C#" where I had some ebooks. I was unable to open any.

When I changed the name from "C#" to "C Sharp" , I could open them

I had a .chm file , but it was not showing the contents , i tried a few softwares but none was able to fix it , after i saw your post it worked , thanks royal for the trick .

I too had faced this problem sometimes ago. Then I asked Microsoft for help. Then they called me and asked me to uninstal SP2 and again to install it in safe mode. My XP had not got any service pack in itself. It needs to be installed manulay after installation of XP
