I cannot open the help-file (Info -> help). What should I do?
Answer: first, make sure that this file ("en_help.chm") is located in the program directory. If the help-file is missing, you can download it here (zip-archive, 110 KB).
The help files with ".chm" extension are opened with system utility "hh.exe" which is usually located in "WINDOWS" folder on disk "C". Perhaps, this utility is absent on your PC or it is outdated. You can download the file "hhupd.exe" (716 KB) from microsoft.com and run it on your PC. That file will update the utility "hh.exe", and then the problem with opening chm-files should be eliminated.

How do I remove CC from the database?
