SYMPTOMS

Starting Help when Windows has low system resources may result in a misleading error such as:

Unable to find Windows Help.EXE

CAUSE

Windows displays this error if it has less than 5 percent of free system resources.

RESOLUTION

This problem is not destructive in any way. To regain access to the Visual Basic Help system, you must first close Windows-based applications until you have more than five percent of free system resources.
