    The problem has to do with the VB6 helpsystem.

    VB6 has more helpfiles in chm format then VB5. After installing VB6 all links to old helpfiles are distroyed and the new ones are made. These link to the VB6 helpfiles.

    After removing VB6 it also removes the helpfiles. Not the link. Then when VB5 is installed it sees a link and also sees it links to a newer file than provided by VB5. It doesn't look if the file is still there. When you press F1 then it starts the VB6 link that leeds nowhere.

    The only I was able to remove a simulair problem was by reinstalling windows. Then the links are gone. I tried to do it from within the registary but there were just to much.
    Catch you later,
