.chm files opening problem..

[dipa]

Hi..

i have some ebooks of .chm extension.

I am facing a weird problem with it..

i have placed that file in f:\college\ebooks\C#

when i open that file i m getting the error:


This program cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address


But strange thing is if i place it in path : f:\

then it gets opened without any error..

Whats the reason behind it??

Thanks in advance!

Check the files association for .chm

You can see my setting at the bottom of the screen shot. If that is not what you see on your computer, click Change program..., then select hh.exe from the Windows directory.

Right click the chm file > properties >and check mark unblock.

I already have seletect the default program for ebook

and there is no any option to unblock because there is no need of unblock..

What i m saying is if i put that ebook in f:\collegwork\ebooks\c#\C-sharp.chm

then this file is not working..

bt same file c-sharp.chm if i copy from that path and paste to desktop then its working perfectly

Maybe it is the name of the folder you have it in.
My crazy logic is if it is opening on desktop then change the
name of the folder.
Or another thing could be the drive you have it on.
Is this a usb drive or another partion?

ITs not usb drive its my hard disc drive.. n by renaming the folder it also not working..

You can also try taking ownership of the folder.

Do this then take ownership of the folder.

You can not use the # character in a directory or flle name. The hash character is a HTML anchor. Change the directory or filename.

Why it works in your other example is not clear. Using forbidden characters in directory or file names can have strange effects.

According to MS, the # is not a reserved/forbidden character in Windows file names or directories.

However, it appears that might very well be a part of the problem here:

dipa, can you give us a screenshot of what window is opening and giving you that message? What is your default e-book program?

 

[Mike Connor]

No, but it has been a known problem in .chm and some other files for a long time.

Thank you so so much! by removing # from folder name it worked..

Its a small mistake but big effect

My pleasure.
