I looked in the Adobe folder and found it and can open one random page by clicking on the file and having it displayed in Internet Explorer. I wonder if all the different updates from window, aol (mcafee) virus stuff or norton virus stuff (even though norton is removed I still get errror messages when I open up my word processor that certain norton dll are not found). I just had an idea. I will try booting from my other drive and see if it can open Photoshop Help. : Roy this might help Navigate to the folder where you think the files may be and do a search for *.hlp ..alternatively do a gobal search for the following: Photoshp.hlp PS*.hlp if the files are on a remote, removable or non-accessed drive, access and copy these into the directory C:\Adobe\Photoshop\Help\ if this Help directory doesn't exist, create it. Create shortcuts to these files by right clicking, selecting 'create shortcut' or 'Send to desktop as shortcut' next drag the shortcuts you created to your windows 'start' button and wait for the menu to appear, still holding (clicked) the shortcut, drag it/them through the menu until you locate the photoshop directory shortcut and drop them in there with the photoshop launch shortcut. If the shortcuts you created on the desktop remain after you've done this and you don't need them there, delete them as they're not important. IF you want to launch the help files through PS after having done all this you may be able to do it as normal once they've been copied to the appropriate folder as you've done above by using the normal route, however if this fails you can at least launch by navigating from the normal start menu, or alternatively you can edit the registry (not for the fainthearted or novice!). karl
