F1 works from code editor but not from the object inspector

I get Windows Help Box with

"There was a problem running the macro (1037)"

I am running Delphi5 build 5.62 on a Windows 7 64 bit PC

*cough*,

that question is like asking "hey why wont that tape fit in my bluray player?".

no seriously, I also have delphi 5 on my win7 laptop. to open the old help files you need kb917607:


but even then F1 will not work (still searching to make it work), BUT you CAN open the .hlp files from the help folder.

one big tip I can give you to avoid security issues under vista/windows7: install delphi (*any version*) in his OWN folder under the root (not under program files).

F1 is working now, just export/import this registry file:

assuming that delphi5 is installed under c:\delphi5
and the borland shared is under c:\delphi5\Borland Shared.

modify the paths to your situation...

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
