SYMPTOMS
When you view Hilgraeve HyperTerminal Private Edition 3.0 Help, the Help file associated with the version of HyperTerminal included with Windows 98 is displayed instead.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Windows 98 redirects calls made to the Hypertrm.hlp file to the Hypertrm.chm file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:

 Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders. In the Named box, type htmlhelp.ini, and then click Find Now. In the list of found files, double-click the Htmlhelp.ini file.  Locate the following line in the [HELP_FINDER] section of the Htmlhelp.ini file: hypertrm.hlp=hypertrm.chm  Disable this line by typing a semicolon at the beginning of the line. On the File menu, click Save, and then click Exit on the File menu.</li></ol>

STATUS
