: : Am upgrading from FMv5 to FMv6. Just installed FM v6 but can't use Help. Get error message "Microsoft Help has encountered a problem & needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Am using Windows XP. Installed FM v6 in same folder as FM v5. Other parts of program seem to work O.K.

Yes, it does happen repeatedly. Rebooting doesn't make any difference.
Another bit of information that may be relevant--as I stated previously both FMv5 & FMv6 are in the same folder. I thought that when I installed FMv6 it would overwrite FMv5. This did not happen as evidenced that both versions are now present. FMv5 will start up when activated--the Help utility shows the same error message when requested. Does the fact that both versions are present cause a conflict in Help? Perhaps I should delete the FMv5.exe file or must I use uninstall to get it out of the folder? Willis
