WINDOWS
Summary:
Under conditions of low Windows system resources, invoking Visual
Basic online Help may display a misleading error dialog box, such as
"Unable to find Windows Help.EXE".
This information applies to Microsoft Visual Basic programming system
version 1.0 for Windows.
More Information:
If Windows has less than 5 percent of free system resources, a
misleading error dialog box that states "Unable to find Windows
Help.EXE" will be displayed if you try to invoke the Visual Basic
online Help.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. Start Visual Basic.
2. Check Windows free resources (choose About from the Windows Help
menu). If free resources are less than 5 percent, proceed to
step 4.
3. Start another Windows application. Go to step 2.
4. From the Visual Basic online Help, choose the Index button.
This problem, while possibly misleading, is not destructive in any
way. To regain access to the Visual Basic Help system, you must first
close Windows applications until you have more than 5 percent of free
system resources.
