Eric,

This problem has been around since Microsoft added security measures for 
file types that pose a virus or trojan risk (including Help files).You need 
to "tell" Windows that it's ok to open this file, which you cannot do 
programmatically from within DX4Win when you press the <F1> key. I had the 
same problem. Here's how I fixed it:

-- Close DX4Win.
-- Use My Computer to navigate to the /DX4WIN directory.
-- Locate the help file DX4WIN.CHM, and double-click on it.
-- The Help file should open properly, _OR_
    ...you might get a Windows security prompt asking "OK to open this 
file?". Say yes.
-- Close the Help file and My Computer.

-- Relaunch DX4Win, click the Help tab. It should now (and evermore) work 
properly.
