Does "Help" still exist in DP 4.6 or is my system

Post by mac603e »

I am trying to do a fresh install of all my software onto my G5 Dual 2.7. However, in DP 4.6, the help files don't work. However, my system is acting strange.

Does "Help" still exist in DP 4.6 or is my system messed up?

I've run Disk Warrior, etc, but still have the problem (I know that Disk Warrior isn't meant for this issue, but I have run all the disk utilities and maintenance stuff.

Thanks in advance

WHOA Cowboy! The problem may be in the OS, not in DP! I lost all my help items (all programs) and think I may have reinstalled JUST the help files from the OS install disk. That is obviously easier than redoing your system!

If that is a problem, it might be worth getting the shareware program Pacifist to selectively install only certain items from an install package.

Problem does seem to be the OS

I've just read that a lot of my buggy problems will be fixed in OS 10.4.3

I think I'll have to accept that for the time being. I will use Pacifist. Thanks
