Oh okay. No I haven't done all that. Everything is on one machine.

  OK, if you're storing the .chm file on a machine other than the one you're
  working at, you'll have to create a shared area of space on the remote
  machine so that you can access the files on that remote machine.  Setting up
  this shared space is normally the job of a system administrator as it's
  important to make sure that only people you want to be able to get at those
  files can connect to the shard area.  If you store a .chm file in such an
  area and try to open it from your local machine, the operation will fail due
  to the bug I noted earlier.

   Best wishes.

  Tim,
   
  What do you mean by "on a network share?"

  Hi,

  There shouldn't be an issue with straight HTML files (as per the HSC
  documentation).  Windows .chm help files are definitely a problem if
  you try
  to use one located on a network share (you can't).  Microsoft have
  this  as
  a acknowledged bug.


  Best wishes.

  I'll have to check it out, but I think it has to do with location of
  the
  files.

  Hi George!



  all of the HotSpotClicker files are just .html.  Do you think there
  could be
  a issue with them too?

  Hi Phil,



  I seem to recall there is a security issue with .CHM files and XP
  anyway.  This is certainly tru of such files stored on a server.



  George.

  Phil replied: well, you may wish to try the following procedure.
  Note: in order to do this, you may need to have your Windows XP CD
  handy.
  Go to control panel, add/remove programmes and tab over to the
  toolbar that
  says toolbar change/remove programmes.  Arrow down until you hear
  Jaws say
  add/remove Windows components button and press the spacebar on that
  option.
  This will drop you into the Windows Components Wizard.  Go down the
  list and
  find Internet Explorer and check the box.  Then, click next.  then,
  when
  Windows tells you to, click finish.  That will remove Internet
  Explorer.
  You will know if that has happened as you won't find it or any
  shortcuts to
  it any more.  Then, go back into the wizard and run it again.  That
  will
  reinstall IE.  If you can't find IE in the list, let me know and I
  will post
  detail of a Windows system file that needs to be edited as Windows
  hides
  some components by default.

  and hotspot document



  Hello,



  I'm using jaws 7.1 with internet explorer 7.
  When I try and go to the main documentation from the hotspot
  clicker, jaws
  seems to go dum. It simply won't read it.



  Any thoughts or suggestions?



  Thanks.
