[resolved] User Manual 3.1.3 links

[dallen]

I have downloaded the User Manual but there is a bad link to the website. If the link worked for me then it would also be great to have the manual linked from VideoReMake Pro's "Help" menu.

Welcome to the forum, dallen.

What link you refer to?

[dallen]

I refer to the user manual itself. When I open the file, the left hand pane shows the tabbed "contents, index. search and favorites" view, but on the right side of the pane I get the information icon which reads:

"This program cannot display the webpage"

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.

Try redownloading the file. Some browsers require that you first select "open file from current location" in download dialog and select "save this file to disk" on second prompt.

IE 7, 2 choices, "Open" & "Save", tried extracting each method to C:\ProgramFiles\DvdRreMake\Manual\

File is:
DvdRemakePro3.chm
Compiled HTML Help file

Still not happy

What you're seeing is normal. I will see your posted error message only if I click on Options button -> Home. You will also notice there's no Home button icon either. This is because it is not defined. The Home icon is actually intended to reference the default topic, which is often the first topic ("Welcome to DvdReMake Pro 3") in the Contents tab.

The HTML Help Component Version I have in my system is v4.74.8702.0 (HHA.DLL). You can access the version info in the left top corner of CHM window (Question mark icon). This is part of XP system.

If you look at some other CHM file from different programs, you will see the error message if there's no Home defined.

Sorry about the lag. Welcome Toaddub I think this is closer to my problem but I don"t quite understand your phrasing.
"I will see your posted error message only if I click on Options button -> Home". (You will see my posted error message only if I click on Options button -> Home"?
Here's what I may understand:

Current URL is:
mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\DVD%20ReMakePro\Manual\DvdReMakePro3.chm::/welcome_to_dvdremake_pro_3.htm

HTML Help version:
5.2.3790.2847

Within the Help menu "Options, Home" I get the Info screen mentioned previous post.

BTY Cookies=med. High.

In this case I obviously don't get the hint. How do I define "Home" to view the manual?

[dallen]

OK, I found how to view the help file by unchecking the always allow, don't ask to open checkbox. Thanks for the help. I can now become a power user! Case closed.
