Okay, call me a dummy...

I seem to have lost the ability to access the "help" files in MS Office XP. I can type in my search criteria (like "Active X"), and it'll popup with a list of suggestions, but if I click on one of the suggestions, the help directory doesn't pop up like it used to.

What am I missing?

Thanks fellow Freepers.

any help would be appreciated.

Does your internet have a pop-up blocker on? MS Help tends to be HTML format.

Disable your virus program and see if that works.

Click "Help" - "Detect and Repair" from the top menubar of Word or Excel or one of the other Office apps.
