Thanks!

Thanks a lot !

Unfortunately, this only works for CHM files on your local drives. When opening a file from a network share or mapped drive, the issue remains the same. But still thanks for the push in the right direction.

thx!

actually it is annoying..

i converted to html, but with your solution, it is easier to read.

Thanks

Thanks a lot :)

was struggling with these .chm files for long ....

thank a lot :)

muchas gracias

was a headache for some minutes.Thnx!

hey guys but I can not see "unlock" tab in windows 7 starter addition. :(

Any help will be gr8 please.

Thanks

If you still find that you cannot see any content in the right pane of the Help viewer, ensure the filename of your file has no hash/sharp symbol in it.  There is a known issue with all versions of Windows regarding this bug.  This SOB caused me no end of headaches until I finally tried renaming my files many times and finding the hash was the problem.

Here's the official report from Micro$oft on the matter:

support.microsoft.com

I found another great site for fixing all manner of CHM issues.  Please take a look here, as it includes every fix that I found on multiple sites, including the hash problem, all in one single location:

Thanks dude

It helped! Thanks a lot!

There is a command line tool from Sysinternal (www.sysinternals.com which redirects to technet) called streams.

With this you can unblock the files.

streams "C:\YOURPATH\*.*" to list all blocked files

streams -d "C:\YOURPATH\*.*" to remove block

Please note that downloading a file is adding information in an alternate NTFS stream. Other processes might do as well (althouhg I never had one)

Hello Patrick,

Thanks for sharing this link.

Regards,

Didier

thank you so much, it is working now :-)))

Thank you very much..

Things COULD be so easy with windows...

but would it be so easy with windows, it would be called Mac OS X...

Merci Beaucoup.

I get that same error message when I open a .chm file on my computer (whether I created it or someone else did), but when I open Properties, the Security section at the bottom (including the "Unblock" button) does not appear. Any advice? I followed the link that Geekoid shared, but none of those works for me.

Thanks a lot, It helps.

Thanks buddy!

I'm so grateful...

Thanks for sharing..

I had similar problem in windows7. I was getting the "Open File - Security Warning" error message box. When I click "Open" the content of the .chm file was blank. After I few trials I found out that unchecking the "Always ask before opening this file" check box resolved the issue.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. Your answer solved my issue.

Thanks a lot. It solved my problem which I was searching on net for a lot of time.

Thank you Didier.

I'm trying to open a ".chm" file that I received from a software developer.

I can't open the file. The developer says to open the properties window and

click on the "Unblock" button. I don't have an "unblock" button. I'm

running Windows XP Pro, SP2.

thanks

Would it be too cumbersome for them to have it display an error message that could give you the *idea* that this is a security/permission issue, and not because of a corrupt file?

Awesome.. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
