After you install the WinHelp32.exe download that is discussed in this 
article, certain macros are disabled. For more information about this 
issue, see the "
Known issues" section. 
This
 section contains steps to re-enable these macros by modifying a 
registry key. If your computer is in a managed environment, do not 
follow these steps without first consulting with
		 your IT department. IT departments may decide not to re-enable 
macros or they
		 may decide to re-enable them by using group policies. IT departments
 will want
		 to read this article in its entirety before you continue. 
Warning This article offers information about how to work around issues
		 that are caused by changes in this release of Windows Help. However, Microsoft
		 makes no specific recommendations about which registry keys and which values
		 are right for your unique environment. If you are in a managed environment,
		 your IT department is the best judge of how to weigh the advantages of these
		 workarounds against the risks of using them. The safer course is to use no
		 registry workarounds at all.
Note To perform the steps in this task, you must be logged on to the
		 computer by using an administrator account. By using an administrator account,
		 you can make changes to your computer that you cannot make with any other
		 account, such as a standard account. 
To log on by using an
		 administrator account, you must know the password for an administrator account
		 on your computer. If you are performing these steps on your personal computer,
		 you are likely already logged on with an administrator account. If you are
		 performing these steps on a computer at work, you might have to ask the system
		 administrator for help. 
To have us fix this problem for you, go to the "Fix it for me" section. If you would rather fix this problem yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section. 
Fix it for meTo fix this problem automatically, click the Fix this problem link. Then click Run in the File Download dialog box, and follow the steps in this wizard.
