Dear all,
I'm using Windows 2000 advanced server. I've a problem with my HTML help.
I've installed MSDN VS6.0 in my workstation. Previously I've already copied
the MSDN Disk 2 files to another workstation(as an MSDN file server). So
whenever i browse through MSDN, it will point to that workstation.
Previously, it's working fine until recently, a blank page is displayed
(nothing is displayed) instead of the content. So, to ensure that the chm
files is not corrupted, i copied the chm files(MSDN D2) from that
workstation to mine. it's working fine, but when i open the chm files
directly from the workstation, it says 'Action Cancelled. Internet Explorer
was unable to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be
temporarily unavailable.'

That means i can only view the .chm files when it is put in my local HDD and
not the network path.
I've tried other workstations and pointed the MSDN to the MSDN file server.
All are working fine except mine.
I do not know why. Recently i've updated all the critical updates on my
computer. Please help. Thank you.
