Tony hit the nail on the head!!!!!  And I have a fix!

Right-click on your "dx4win" icon (from the Start menu) and select
Properties.

In the "Start in:" box, if it's blank, copy the path from the "Target:" box,
leaving off dx4win.exe, i.e.:

  Start in:  c:\program files\dx4w703

Now "Apply" and "OK".  Then start DX4WIN.

I did this and now help is working.
