Since WinXP 896358 security update came out, a new install of SW on a machine results in not being able to read the help files. They are files with the extension of .chm. I can double-click on a file and uncheck a box to not ask me if it's ok to open that file, or I can right-click and click on the unblock button, but it seems that there should be a better, global way to work around this. Anyone else have this issue and maybe have a solution?

Isn't it just like Microsoft to determine files in their own formats might be hazardous to the user? LOL As far as your issue goes, I won't even know where to begin to address it. Have you contacted your VAR?

Not yet - I figured I would throw it out here first.

I had found that info and decided that it wasn't exactly the issue as these files are all on the local machine. Thanks.

intresting, it worked on my local machine.
Got it! The solution is to unblock the zip file on the network, then extract the files. The Help files then open just fine.
