HTML based help broken

[euston]

Since the middle of last year, a Windows update (unknown) has broken HTML help. Programs like Dreamweaver 4 and Homesite no longer have direct access to HTML based help. With Homesite, a message box appears informing me of an Invalid Floating Point Operation.

There have been 48 Windows updates since 29 June 2010 (this is the date of my most recent archived system disk clone). One of those updates is guilty.

Owzat! On ya way, back to the pavilion!

Take a look here see if any of those Help breakages apply to you:

Thank you vacunita. That is a lot to think about. I last did some web site authoring in June 2010. Everything with Homesite worked OK then. The problem has arisen since and with the knowledge of what has changed on the system I can only think that a Microsoft update since June 2010 has brought about the change.
