can't open CHM files any more

[arich]

Hi,

I'm using win xp, and for some reason it stopped opening help file with *.chm extension. when trying to open I get the following error messege:

can't open file: mkMSITStore:{file name and path}

I tried both spybot and adaware - no help. even reinstalled IE but no luck.

any ideas ?

thanks,
Aric

no really; what you need to do is to check the security properties for the chm, make sure you appear in it, and grant yourself all the rights available
