Off-line Help in Office 2003 products and VB6 does not display properly
(apparently some undisplayed graphics ... I see box w/red X). And I am
constanly get Internet Explorer Script Errors.

Does anyone else have this problem? And if so, do you know what to do to
solve this problem?

Just out of interest, did you install the Access 2007 beta? One of the
problems I experienced was that it gradually destroyed the help of all the
previous versions.

Of course, it could be several other things, ranging from problems with IE,
damaged or unregistered components, security settings, or malware.

No, I did not install Access 2007 beta.

However, I did install Visual Basic 2005 Express. And I think that My
problems started just about at that time. I also installed Internet Explorer
7 and then my VBA Help was rendered virually useless. So I unstalled Internet
Explorer 7 and at least now I am back to being able to use Help, but the Help
does not display properly and I keep getting Internet Explorer Script Errors.

Any idea how to get rid of this problem?

Sorry: I don't know the answer.

Perhaps someone else has experience with this issue.

If you don't get a response here, you could try one of the groups related to
VB2005 Express or IE7.

Twice I experienced problems with Visual Studio messing up VBA completely,
and solved it by removing VS. Beyond that I can't contribute anything
useful.
