New to Basic Stamp product. I have the Basic Stamp v 2.5.3 installed but while doing first steps i noticed that the Basic Help from Help menu does not respond and is stuck forever. Any one can help? Thanks a lot

    The Basic Stamp help files are basically a web page located on your computer. The BASIC Stamp Help.exe is just wrapper for Internet Explorer. If you have made changes to Internet Explorer or uninstalled it, Help will not work.

    The files are located in:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallax Inc\Stamp Editor v2.5.3\Help (on Windows 7 64 bit)

    C:\Program Files\Parallax Inc\Stamp Editor v2.5.3\Help (on Windows 7 32 bit)

    If you don't use Internet Explorer, try using your preferred web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) to open the default.htm file located in the Help folder, or you can try using Internet Explorer to open the file directly.

    \Parallax Inc\Stamp Editor v2.5.3\Help\default.htm

    Note that you must have JavaScript enabled in your web browser.
