| Post subject: | FATK Help |
When I click on "Help" in FATK, a blue background window opens with the message "This is not a Windows help file." I click on the "OK" button and a second message appears, "A newer version of Help is needed to view this Help file." If I open "My Computer", then I can go to my Toolkit directory, and open the help file from there. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone know how to workaround this? |

If you're using Windows XP then I've had this exact problem. I think it's because the FATK help is incompatible with the Windows XP help file system. Zephyr |

Yes the help file is non-compatible with NTFS. It must run under FAT32 but it's okay the help file is useless. |

yes it is (basically useless). Now I'm thinking about doing a complete reformat of the hard drive and possibly doing a dual OS system... that way I can have FA without all the issues of trying to run it under Win2000. |

Yes a dual boot is nice. If you get XPPRO and do a NTFS file system you can avoid all of that. |

are you saying XP-Pro runs FA and the TK properly as opposed to XP-Home? I'm thinking of changing OS's. |

I'm sure there's no difference between FA and TK performance on XP Home or Pro. IIRC the only major differences between the two are system restore settings and some network administration features. Zephyr |

There are more reasons to get XPPRO over XPHOME than just FA. |

Zephyr, I have found, through use on my NB and desktop, that XP home and XP pro support different versions of diret X plus have stability issues when running FATK... However this is all pre SP2, I do not know what the status of XP home is in comparison to XP Pro SP2... CAG out... |
