Title: DLL Errors in Help System
Post by: Jodd on July 29, 2007, 12:51:41 pm

Just downloaded 12.0 2 79
In doing almost anything in help

I get a msg

A Runtime error has occurred      
Do you wish to run debug      
Line 239 Error in loading DLL      
The Debug shows

function d2hie()
var ie = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("msie");


I AM NOT INTERESTED IN BEING A DEVELOPER
Can the be easily fixed?
Is there a phone number or email address where I can get real support.
I would be even willing to pay for it.
This seems like a great product from a feature point of view ,
but frankly at this point in my life,
I simply want stuff to work, be well supported, or I move on.

Thank you.

Can you specify the exact steps you are using to cause the error?

12.0.294 just came out a couple of days ago, try downloading and installing that (check the top of this board).

That error message doesn't look like MC. A re-install is in order for sure.

Same problem from the version I downloaded 3 weeks ago.

IE may not be working on your system.

Can you do Help / System Info and paste the results here?

EQdb (Active)

Try uninstalling any Third Party Plug-ins.

System looks normal.  It could be a Spyware program or Firewall or similar that's causing a problem.

I'm not if it'll help but I am using build 292 with the eqdb plugin active and I am not getting any such error message.

Media Center uses Microsoft Help format for its help. (chm)  This is standard in most programs.

This is a part of Windows.  It renders HTML pages using IE.

If there's a problem, it points to a Windows / IE issue.

Thanks everyone,
I should say that all my other help files seem to render without errors.
