SYMPTOMS
========
After you load a Windows-based program file from a disk in a disk drive or save
a Windows-based program file to a disk in a disk drive, and then you remove the
disk from the drive, you are unable to start Windows Help from within the
Windows-based program. Depending on the Windows-based program that you are
using, you may or may not receive an error message indicating that Windows Help
did not start.
CAUSE
=====
When you start Windows Help from a Windows-based program, Windows 95 passes the
program's current working directory to Windows Help. If the current working
directory is located on a disk drive, and if there is no disk in that drive,
Windows 95 does not verify that the directory exists and therefore does not
start Windows Help.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this behavior, insert a disk in the disk drive, or change the
current working directory to a valid directory using the program's File Open and
Save commands.
