• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to open a Windows Help file on a full-access network share, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot display this Help file. Try opening the Help file again, and if you still get this message, copy the Help file to a different drive, and try again. (136)

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Help file you are trying to open is currently open on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use any one of the following methods:

• Copy the Help file to a different name or location.



• Close the Help file on the computer running Windows NT.



• Change the access type for the network share to read-only.



• Add a second network protocol in Network properties.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior occurs only if you try to open a Help file on a Windows 95- based computer and the Help file is currently open on a Windows NT-based computer. Other computers running Windows NT 3.x, Windows 3.1x, or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x can open the Help file while it is open on a Windows NT-based computer.
