In response to you problem, just download a html help writer software and it will install the needed activeX control.

I have just upgraded to MS Office 2000 Premium on a Windows 98 Machine. Starting 'Help' in Word 2000 I am able to type in a topic (in the Help wizard) as soon as I start to open one of the topics that the Wizard suggests I get:

I have tried deleting that HHCTRL file, reinstalling Office 2000 and I have run 'Detect and repair' - all to no avail.

Any suggestions available?

If you haven't figured out how to fix the HHCTRL.OCX error yet, I have a possible solution to offer. Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/download.asp to download htmlhelp.exe. This is 4.0 MB file that took about 30 minutes to download and fixed my problem!

Hope this helps,

Just in case I do not get back, it seems from
other sources the MS Int Explorer will give
you a current copy. I have IE 4.0 on machine
even though I us Netscape. It can be upgraded online, click on help, to 4.1a or so
and hopefully this will fix it. Will let you
know, if i have not lost this link.

While waiting for 1 hr and 17 min for IE upgrade, I continued looking. There is a
copy 9/12/98 up for grabs at the following
web site.

The language is strange, and i can not even
make an intellegent guess as to what it is,
BUT, it is clear that they have one new one
and two older ones, Just click on the new
one and it comes as a zip file

I have not tried it yet, but may never get
back here, so you are on your own.

Well with about an hour to go on IE explor.
upgrade, I found a ref to MS solution,

"hhupd.exe". The jump had been changed and
the changed jump had "been lost or gone away", and a search was suggested.

It found some 12 items, two jumps down in
one of them took me to the listing below

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/localize.asp

You can down load it there. Still have not
been brave enough to try any as this is one
of those cases where some people report sudden death to the MS inane "safe mode",
that place you can not get out of, nor diagnose what is wrong, nor fix it.

MS was at an all time high when they set up
that winner.

I found a faster fix for the HHCTRL.OCX problem with Windows 98. Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/c-frame.htm?931289878925#/workshop/author/htmlhelp/default.asp, and just download the HHUPD.EXE 1.22 file, then run it. Much smaller file, downloads fast, and installs the new HHCTRL.OCX even if yu don't have the HTML Help utility.

If you are using Windows 98 and get the error
"Need a newer version of HHCTRL.OCX to view this file" when trying to use help, do this.
Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp/localize.asp
Download HHUPD.exe
Run it.
