Another Vista Woe!

Hi all

I have been using a particular software on my desktop XP without any problem. On my laptop which has Vista, on the same program:
Clicking on the HELP button returns a mesage "MS Html Help" is not installed on this pc.
Can you comment on this and help me solve this issue.

Thanks

The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included with Windows operating systems starting with Windows Vista. But Microsoft has now updated the program WinHlp32.exe, which enabled viewing of help files stored on older .hlp file format in earlier editions of windows. this now supports Vista and can be downloaded from Microsoft, if you'd want to view 32-bit .hlp files in Vista, you must download and install this program.
