Strange Problem with .chm files

I'm in the process of documenting our project with the help of NDoc, but had some problems building the documentation. It kept on saying that it can't open the .chm file for compilation.

At first I though that this is a problem with NDoc but couldn't find helpfull info on the Net. Later on I discovered that for some reason I can't open ANY .chm files on my PC.

Don't know how it happened but here is a solution:

Re-register the hhctrl.ocx with regsvr32. 

eg. regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx

Thanks a million! I scratched my head bald trying to figure out why none of the chm files 'worked'.

Then I reverted to the old solution: let Google handle it. Search for "chm files problem" brought me here.

How precisely does one "Re-register the hhctrl.ocx with regsvr32. eg. regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx"?

Open a new Command Window, START -RUN and Type CMD and enter.

Type regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx in the command prompt and press enter.

This should now re-register the DLL

If you right-click the CHM file in windows explorer, click 'properties' and then click 'unblock', it will sort out 'Page cannot be displayed' errors in CHM files.
