From: Pete10016 on 25 Feb 2010 16:43 I'm running Vista and the association somehow is broken between .chm and "microsoft html help executable" -whatever that be. I've searched, googled, tried installations, but can't fix. Any advice out there??

The solution was to double click the .chm and associate it with hh.exe You can't just set the association because it won't be there.
