Corrupted VB6 Help Files

[Lloyd]

Same thing has happen to me 3 times this year. I had to go to the Custom setup like Aaron Young said. If that don't work try putting the help files into a new folder other than the one it was in originally. If you do the new directory I doubt that your personal settings will be there.

Somehow my Visual Studio VB6 Help files have become corrupted. Whenever I choose any of the VB6 Help menu items, rather than getting the "MSDN Library Visual Studio 6" window, I just get a small blank window. F1 help for things like DAO (but not VB language) still work, however. I know I can probably correct the problem by reinstalling, but I'd rather not do that, so I have two questions:
1) Does anyone know what file or files I need to replace, or
2) If I reinstall, what registry or ini file setting do I need to preserve so that I do not lose my personal IDE settings?

If you do a Custom Installation you should be able to select just the Help Files.
