Not sure why but my Help.exe is crashing everytime I try to access it through Basic Stamp Editor and I cannot run it separately. Any fixes would be appreciated.

Andy.

    Hello,

    Here is a work around for the "Help" file:

    Click on the "Start" button in Windows and then click on "Programs" and then click on "Parallax" and then click the "Help" file and it should work.

    Dave

    Many Thanks Dave. I seem to miss the obvious sometimes. I was trying to start it using the Start Menu "RUN" option.

    The trick is calling the help file itself (PBASIC.CHM), not the EXE that opens it.· You can create a shortcut to that file on your desktop for easy access.
