Menus & Menu designer
We found the same issue with 2008 RDP. We've done two things. Confirm the the user has access to the two files foxhhelp9.exe and foxhhelpps9.dll. Then instead of calling HELP we're calling HELP ID and this brings up the help for a specific page (we use a default ID within the help file). We also make use of the WhatsThisMode method.
Hope this helps

I sometimes even had html file with hierarchical navigation, so where that was available (i.e. running FPD on a windows machine), I'd launch the browser with appropriate link into the local file; if not, I'd do a Set Topic To and call the usual dbf help.
