Title: SGDK2's Help doesn't work.
Post by: Rubix Cube on 2009-08-05, 04:05:52 PM
In the SGDK2, there is a help file that explains everything, but it won't work for me. It says, "Navigation to the webpage was cancelled. Try retyping the address." Any help with this? I tried redownloading but that didn't help, and I am using V2.1 if that matters.

Windows won't run help files from untrusted security zones.  So if the help file is in a network folder or the permissions on it aren't set correctly, you could get such an error.  Someone emailed me about this problem, and we solved it -- wish they had posted on the forums.  Here are some links that helped him:

That second link fixed everything. Maybe you could post the link somewhere that new users would notice quickly. But anyway...
It works! It works! I can use the help files now. Thanks for your time!
