    If I step through all errors all iconsimages are not displayed!


    If I step through all of the error dialogs, pressing Esc, and click Refresh, stepping through all errors again, and then click Refresh the .chm file is displayed correctly


    BUT here comes the strangest thing!
    If I create a small program that opens the .chm file using ShellExecute or System.Diagnostics.Process then it works perfectly direct!!??

    Default File Type Associations - Restore

    I'm running Windows 7 SP1 32-bit Ultimate

    The .chm file used for the screen dumps was created with Sandcastle Help File Builder 2014-11-22.0, but I get the same result with any .chm file...

    So it must be some permission that is wrong for my user, but which....?
