Using Mac Help in Tiger Server 10.4.2, when I click show on a topic nothing happens. Not much Help eh?

If this is a bug then I seriously believe Apple don't actually test any of their products, except on us mugs. This kind of thing incenses me.

If it's not a bug then I'd like to know howcome it persists even after a completely fresh system install.

Tons of things not working for me in Tiger but this one really takes the biscuit. :mad: Anyone else?

I have had no problems with Mac Help in all versions I have used.

Interesting thanks. Does that include Server 10.4.2? I vaguely recollect I had the same problem with the 10.4.2 Client when I installed that on the same test machine. I could be wrong about that though.

I'll be re-installing the server version again v soon so I'll make sure I try the Mac Help immediately after. Will post back results here when I can get round to it.

Have you tried the usual procedures like booting from the CD/DVD and running Disk Utility to repair the disk? How about repairing permissions through Disk Utility as well?

Use Onyx (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070) to "Reset MacHelp" and see if that works.
