I dont know whether or not this is really a question for this forum but im not sure where to post it. Im trying to use the MSDN library and the normal links to other topics, examples n the like are no longer there, they appear as little white squares instead. I aslo have this problem with the windows help and support center so it could be a probmlem with the html help application? i have XP Home and havnt done anything i can think of that would have changed it???? OK so this might be the wrong forum but u guys are so knowledgable and fixed everything for me so far.

Have you applied any service packs or updates recently? I remember seeing another MSDN related thread in this forum for which this was the root of the problem.
 
Um yeah, i updated Internet Explorer with 3283 and Q832894 (windows update), i think this could have done it actually, again a question not realted to this forum but does anyone know how to un-install these updates? I dont really want to start a new thread for it.

Thanks

I found the problem, it was the damn Q832894 update. I unistalled it and it works fine, typical microsoft, fix something, screw something else up!!!!
Thanks for your thoughts Glasgow.

Good - wish I could link this up with the previous thread I referred to but can't find it. I think it was posted by one of the 'more regular contributors' but that's all I can remember.
 
Same problem, same cause, same dismal view of Microsoft.
