File: python334.chm Downloads, md5sum correct. MS help executable opens a page with Table of Contents, but also displays a box with following message: "Navigation to the webpage was canceled" Clicking on any page icon in Table of Contents list produces no result.

I cannot reproduce this. The file opens just fine for me, with no box being opened, on Windows 7. Are you opening the file on a network drive, by any chance? Then http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11438634/opening-a-chm-file-produces-navigation-to-the-webpage-was-canceled might apply.

Thanks for the reply. No network drive involved. Using Windows Vista on solo computer. But the referenced problem for a network drive is EXACTLY the problem I had. The same solution worked. Problem fixed.
