Software In game Help issue

[Rioden]

I keep getting a message "Navigation to the webpage was canceled" when I try to use the In-Game help. None of the links work. Does anyone know whats causing this?? I know my internet is function correctly.

Orbiter's inbuilt help files are not stored remotely, but are a collection of .chm files located in the /html/ folder of your orbiter install. I would suggest firstly verifying that these files exist in that folder - and try extracting the html folder from the package into your orbiter install again.

Try it on a totally clean install too, and see if the problem persists. If it does, there's likely an issue with your HTML Help viewer.

I have a Windows 7 system and I can't reproduce it.

I think this is to do with the UAC protection on Vista, I've not got a copy of Vista handy to test it but I think the fix is to make sure that you run orbiter as local admin.

It shouldn't matter what browser you have. The inbuilt HTML help viewer uses the standard IE rendering engine regardless of third-party browsers installed on the system, unless I'm missing my guess completely.

Go to: Orbiter folder>Html and right-click one of the .chm files, click properties, and in the properties window, somewhere below, there should be a safety box that's turned on... turn it of and repeat this with all the files, and then they should work...

Sorry, I can't describe it in details, because my PC is dutch if you don't understand it, tell me, then I will turn my PC in English
