unfortunately I have reassigned my cd-rom drive and the install/uninstall no longer works. I have pointed the help to foxhelp.chm that I copied from another computer but this does not bring me to the help file we all know and love. Instead it brings up a 'visual everything' window not familiar to me. Is there another file I need besides the foxhelp.chm?
