Why do I get "action canceled" or "page cannot be displayed" errors when I view the chm?
This often happens when you try to open a chm file that is located on a network share. One option is to copy the chm file to your local machine and open it from there.
If you want to open it from the share, read on:
This is happening because of a security patch issued by Microsoft. More info about the patches is available in these kb articles:

The problem can be fixed by adding some registry keys which are desribed in more detail in the kb articles above. To install the keys, follow these steps:
1. open notepad.exe and paste the regedit text below.
2. save as "workaround.reg" to your desktop.
3. close notepad and double-click on workaround.reg to install the registry keys
