I have 2 problems:
the first one is that the AGS-Help system doesnt work in all my installed ags versions.
I have running AGS-262 27 and 271 and it looks like this:

i have installed microsoft .net framework 2.0 a few days ago maybe this is the reason, but i dont know.
second problem is the error message in this thread:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=25979.0
where i get this error with the particle-demo and the sources:
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x0045C87F ; program pointer is -195, ACI version 2.71.894, gtags (0,0)
thanks for help
1.) Since AGS's help system is HTML-based, it has probably something to do with your Internet Explorer. But I don't know what to suggest. Does IE itself work okay?
i have no problems with the IE.
and similar helpfiles in other applications works fine.
Edit:
ok, the microsoft .NET Framwork 2.0 was not the reason, cause i deinstalled it and the help system doesnt care about, and dont works further on :'(

Have you tried a fresh d/l and install in another dir?
Try to update your html help file here from MS

thx, but after losing 1-1/2 hours in the deep of the microsoft webpage,
installing a couple of repair, update and help programs try to reinstall the whole thing manually (which is not possible) im helpless.
several *.chm files dont work on my pc, the latest AGS help file which works is from 2.61.
Since your first problem isn't limited to the AGS help file, I'm moving this to the General discussion forum to help you get more replies that will hopefully help fix your system.
Please post another thread in the Tech forum about your second problem.
Try checking your network security settings, Ad blocker programmes, virus scanner, or whatever similar stuff on your computers,
There had been similar reports about such programmes filtering out the help file pages. (I'm just too lazy to look for the original threads)
i got it to workÃ, :), thank you all.
i found the solution in this thread. -> http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=21647.0
its unbelievable but i download 7-zip to unzip the AGS-Editor and the *chm files work fine.
with the windows-integrated zip-system the file must be corrupt or something, strange.
Just blame M$.
