I haven't had any problems with them. Take a look at your Internet
Explorer Security settings. Maybe their set too high.

As far as your printer goes, I have no advice there. Perhaps it's been
discussed here before. Try doing a search on this newsgroup.

Cheers,

If the help files are stored on a network drive then the problem may be
caused by security update 896358, which Microsoft made available via
Windows Update a few months ago. This blocks access to remote and
downloaded .chm files unless you apply the appropriate workarounds. See
this page for more information:

Hello, Pete.
Thank you very much! You were right the bug was only with network files, now
everything is ok.
