Hi Harald

I purchased Lightmachine and it certainly helps where the help is needed.

But one thing that is still very odd. Immediately after installing I was checking through the various functions including opening the Help file from the ? and it opened OK.

I carried on working on an image and wanted to check someting in the Help but from then on I get the error asking me to check that the Help file is installed correctly. Mighty strange that it should wok one minute and not the next, and not snce then

IMHO this is not a major issue more an irritation but it would be nice if the help file opened correctly when I needed from the plugin link.

Thanks for great plugin.

Sounds strange. I will see if I can find the problem and add a fix in the next update. Until then you can also run the manual from the Start > Program > LightMachine menu at the bottom left of your screen.

Hi Harald

In case it helps and to ask your feedback/advice.

Whilst looking for something else I came across a reference to itss.dll this apparently can affect the launching of context sensitive help from within Windows applications. Apparently you have to use regsvr32 to 'register it' (again?).

Now as reported by me the Help opened OK then failed to do so. Therefore I have no idea whether the reason I outline above has anything to do with it?

TIA

I don't think it has anything to do with this .dll. LightMachine looks in the folder that it is located for the help file, then reads the Lightmachine installation folder from the registry and looks there. So maybe the LightMachine registry entry was corrupted on your computer or you moved LightMachine to a different folder after the installation or renamed the installation folder.
