If building from the source then here is the replacement for help_help_cb() in vikwindow.c Which should help reveal the problem: static void help_help_cb ( GtkAction *a, VikWindow *vw ) { #ifdef WINDOWS ShellExecute(NULL, "open", ""PACKAGE".pdf", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); #else /* WINDOWS */ #if GTK_CHECK_VERSION (2, 14, 0) gchar *uri; uri = g_strdup_printf("ghelp:%s", PACKAGE); GError *error = NULL; gboolean ans = gtk_show_uri(NULL, uri, GDK_CURRENT_TIME, &error); if (ans) a_dialog_error_msg ( GTK_WINDOW(vw), _("The help system is not available.") ); else if (error) { a_dialog_error_msg_extra ( GTK_WINDOW(vw), _("Help is not available because: %s."), error->message ); g_error_free (error); } g_free(uri); #else a_dialog_error_msg ( GTK_WINDOW(vw), "Help is not available in this build." ); // Unlikely to happen so not going to bother with I8N #endif #endif /* WINDOWS */ } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
