Hello erverybody,

 

from the public download area I downloaded the DVBViewer manuals in German and in English:

 

German:

http://www.DVBViewer.com/handbuch/DVBViewer.chm

 

English

http://www.DVBViewer.com/oliver/DVBViewer.chm

 

Both don't work, I get this error on every page:

 

"Fehler: Server oder DNS kann nicht gefunden werden

Internet Explorer"

 

(Error: Server or DNS can not be found)

 

However, other "chm"-files work, like "TransEdit.chm" or "DVBViewer GE.chm".

 

Does anyone have an idea what goes wrong?

 

It looks like the files try to open an internet connection.

 

So, why?

 

Are they trying to phone to home?

 

Even if I shut down my firewall the error occurs.

 

Regards,

 

Eckhard

Do not Open directly the Files. Save them to your Harddisk and it will work

Of cource I tried this already.

 

Unfortunately I can't confirm your proposal of solution.

 

The problem still exists, even on different PCs.

 

Can anyone else confirm or deny my problem?

 

I can't believe this problem occurs only at me.

 

Regards,

Thanks a lot for this hint!

 

The problem was solved by changing file attributes to allow the file to be opened even if it was a file originated by another computer.

 

The change affected other *.chm files too, which can be opened now.

 

It seems I changed global security settings by changing values provided by the attributes dialog of the file.

 

Did I mention I love Windows for it's concepts ... ;-)

 

However, thanks again for the hint!

 

Regards,
