thanks for the reply david. i got it to work by dropping the chm file into a firefox or IE window and saving it in a new location, but it seems i have to do that every time i try to double-click to open it. not sure what i'm missing but as long as it kinda works that'll be all right for now.

Try placing the chm into a local location on your computer, possibly on the partition where your OS is installed.

If you open them from a network location, this is what you get:

This is primarily because .chm files are branded as harmful by windows, and network locations are flagged as unsafe.

Hi Guys,
It still doesn't work for me...
I tried placing the CHM a bit everywhere and open it from these new locations and i still get the screen that Suryansh posted as print screen...
Any idea why?
Many thanks,
Arthur
