SYMPTOMS

CAUSE
This problem occurs because the %WINDIR%\Help\ixqlang.htm file contains an HTML formatting error.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, manually correct the HTML formatting in the %WINDIR%\Help\ixqlang.htm file. To do this, follow these steps:  Use any text editor, such as Notepad, to open the %WINDIR%\Help\ixqlang.htm file.  Locate the following code. showHelp(&quot;isconcepts.chm::/ismain-concepts_30.htm&quot;)   Replace the code in step 2 with the following code. showHelp(&quot;ms-its:isconcepts.chm::/ISMain-concepts_30.htm&quot;) Note In this code, the following two changes are made:  &quot;ms-its:&quot; is added to the beginning of &quot;isconcepts.chm.&quot; The &quot;ism&quot; characters are capitalized as &quot;ISM&quot; in the .htm file name.  Save the changes to the file, and then exit the text editor.</li></ol>
