Help is not helpful

[Claire Hart]

When nothing is open and all applications (according to the dock) are 
not open, and my menu bar has "finder" as the open application", and I 
click "help", there be nothing in the resulting opened window.  I have 
Help's own red/yellow/green buttons, the left/right arrows, the little 
house button, the "ask a question" field, and nothing in the white area 
below it.  The left/right arrows are black, but go nowhere.  Clicking 
the little house takes me nowhere.  When I type anything in the "ask a 
question" field and hit "enter", nothing happens as a result.

I'm using Panther on a 17" PB 1.5GHz.  My iMac DV400 also is running on 
Panther.  On my iMac, it works fine.  I close all apps, click "Help", 
and get the usual stuff filling in the big white space: the big X on 
the left half and a few links on the right, such as What's New, etc...

I discovered this as a result of taking Charles' advice on the iMac 
list to check if I had changed my firewall setup.  Since I don't know 
how to change my firewall setup, I thought I'd learn by going to help.  
The reason why Charles thought I needed to check my firewall setup is 
because I can't log into iTunes because of error 5555 (whatever that 
is).  This feels like the domino effect... or maybe the twilight 
zone...
