Windows 7 - Software conflict with Win7 Help File

Software conflict with Win7 Help File

I installed an old version of Corel on my Windows 7 Dell today. I'm amazed that it installed as everyone said "old" programs would not run on Windows 7. It sort of runs fine with the following exception - every time I access the desktop within the program, the Help file opens with the following message: The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn’t included in this version of Windows. However, you can download a program that will allow you to view Help created in the Windows Help format.
As a consequence, I can't do much within the program without that msg popping up and stopping any further input from me. Windows 7 is a 64 bit program as far as I know so I don't think downloading a .hlp file meant for a 32-bit system will cure this - which is what the download file will be. Thanks for any thoughts.

I am replying to my own msg. Apparently all I had to do was reboot and the problem went away. Yay!!

Hi - thanks for input. It seems to have stopped popping up with that msg - I may download it anyway. I guess what's confusing is it calls out the 32 bit extension and I have a 64 bit system. So that will work on 64 bit system??

If you look in the Microsoft page in the link there's 2 downloads. One for 32 bit and one for 64 bit.
