COMMON PROBLEMS WITH CHM FILES, NO CONTENT SHOWN

What to do if CHM files are not displayed correctly in Windows? Common causes of
display errors.



An erroneous representation usually expresses itself in this way:



The navigation tree with the contents is displayed, but the main view is not
visible. This is due to Windows security settings or a “wrong” location.


CHM FILE IS OPENED FROM A NETWORK DRIVE

If you open the CHM file from a network drive, it is displayed as shown in the
screenshot. The solution is simple: copy the CHM file to your local hard drive
and open it from there. The CHM file should now work.

In order to be able to use CHM files from the network, an intervention in the
registry is necessary. For this you create a key with the name ItssRestrictions
in the registry under
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\.

Now create a DWORD value with the name MaxAllowedZone Value 1.



As soon as the key exists, CHM files can also be used from the network drive.


CHM FILE WAS DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET

The problem may also occur if the CHM file was downloaded from the Internet. A
message appears when the CHM file is started.



Despite confirmation of the message, the content remains white. If you want to
offer CHM files for download yourself, you should offer them as ZIP archives.
The user can unpack it after the download and use the CHM file normally.

To use the file after the download, go to the properties of the file and
activate the sub-item “Allow”:




WRONG PATH

Another problem occurs when the file is in the wrong path. Then the CHM file is
opened normally, but instead of the content only a “No access to page” appears.

This is caused by certain characters in the folder path, e.g. a “#” character:



Here it helps to rename the folder(s) or to move the file.
