Campaign Notes with Vista - Gordons HQ - 03-04-2008

Hi Everyone,
I can't read the Campaign Notes with Vista. When I try it just says widows no longer supports the help file in this version of windows.
I have seen the supposed fix for it on the HPS site but I can't get anything to work.
There it directs you to Microsoft site to install a fix, that's a minefield in itself, I've tried installing their fix and still get the same result, nothing.
I was wondering if anyone else knows how to fix this and can talk me through it, or even if there is a fix for this.
Cheers,
Gordon

It isn't just NOTES.HLP, it is ALL HLP files. Vista no longer supports these.

There is a section on the HPS Website on this - the link is:

http://www.hpssims.com/vistahelp.htm

...scroll down to the part called "Help file display" and follow the instructions.

Thanks Glenn,
I've noticed it's the manual and some other things besides, luckily I printed that while running XP sometime age. I think I might have tried what you suggest but for some reason it didn't work, I'll have another look though.
Cheers,
Gordon

Thanks Glenn,
I've just been on the site again and there are 2 downloads it seems at Microsoft, the first one I tried yesterday didn't work for my version, so I tried the second one and now I can read everything, great!!!!!
Cheers,
Gordon

If I am not mistaken, you can go to the PzC / MC game updates page at HPS and download printable documentation. You should be able to read those in Vista.
