Help File Problem With running Example Codes

[Jos]

I think a safety net to that script would be to also ensure that the ocx is enabled. (which was my problem)

Sorry to be a pain in the ass, I have no idea how it got disabled.

What did you exactly need to do to enable the OCX and fix it?

I found it using a freeware app called WinPatrol.

I swear by that utility. It lets you know whenever an app tries to install new services, system files, startup items,..etc... and it's extremely lightweight. The only thing that it's missing is a standard "WARNING! HHCTRL IS DISABLED AND YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN AUTOIT EXAMPLE FILES!" feature. They really dropped the ball on that one.

I tried to find a more traditional approach for you and founfd this:

ActiveX control HHCTL.OCX disabled on the web (Jan-2005)

KB Article MS05-001, KB892675, Other Helpware notes

Breakage: ActiveX part of HHCtrl.ocx (main HH engine) now only works on the local machine. This breaks servers and websites that use the TOC and Index controls. Also breaks other commands such as HH Related Topics command and HH Version command.

Work Around: Registry settings work around at KB892675

It sounds like that file was on a terror for awhile.

It doesn't show up on my WinXP pro sp3 machine when running Winpatrol.

Take that back... it does when ticking the "List all ......" box at the top of the list.
