Neal, I tried something on this Windows7 64bit laptop - just to see if I could uninstall Winhlp32.exe via the Control Panel -
the entry is under KB917607 I was skeptical - but, this is not my full-use computer - so, I DID THE UNINSTALL of KB917607 IT TOOK A WHILE for the uninstall to take hold... when it was DONE, I looked at my C:\Windows directory and just about went crazy when I SAW Winhlp32.exe 10KB sitting there!!!!!!! I literally did not have any HOPES of this working.. BUT - knowning that KB917607 was NOT in my Windows Updates log any more -- I went ahead and downloaded the PROPER winhlp32.exe file for thhis computer -- and WAS AMAZED that the update went through and WAS ALL OK --- Winhlp32.exe 290KB So, we at least have one method of the guys getting back their REAL Winhlp32.exe file and then having the DXbase2007 Help Files work properly.... The LAST update for KB917607 that I just did NOW reads: Update for Windows (KB917607) Installation date: ?3/?20/?2015 4:42 PM Installation status: Successful Update type: Important Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) More information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 Help and Support: http://support.microsoft.com There is some light at the end of the tunnel!!!! 73 Joe wa6axe ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
