Title: AGS.CHM not working...? [SOLVED]
Post by: Etcher Squared Games on Sun 19/06/2005 17:43:37
So, anytime I go to work on my game I keep ags.chm open on one of my monitors, but today, I get it open, I see all the links on the left, but everyone of them, when I click on them comes up with

"Action canceled

IE was unable to link to the web page you requested.....
yadayada"

I thought the information was all in the .chm file.Ã,  Does it point somewhere online?Ã,  Is that place down currently?Ã,  Ã, I couldn't find a thread about this.Ã,  Only threads about the online manual, but I want to use my local manual.

Also, I do have ags 2.7, but that's not the version I'm making my game in.Ã,  I started with 2.62 and I'll finished this one with 2.62, but my ags.chm for 2.7 does the same thing...

still negative

[EDIT]
re-extracting the whole ags 2.62 did NOT help either

Did you happen to install anything new like netscape etc ?
So it is not the help file as that one I gave you works .

My computer is set for automatic updates, so that may be something.

Otherwise I just recently uninstalled Myst IV.Ã,  And no, the chm file you sent me does NOT work.


[edit]

Ok, I'm guessing in either my mcaffee update or that windows update that "something" up'ed my security and it didn't like the ags.chm file and thought it was threatening and wouldn't display anything useful.

(why is the 2.61 and the NSIS ok then?)

But for those of you who have this problem, just let the system know that this file is "OK", and the stuff will show again.

[edit take 2]
Candle, thanks for you help, I posted this edit apparently just AFTER you posted the message below, but in essense, YES it was just something about my system.  Please see edit #1 for the solution.
