Yes, the injury to your MW Help occurred with your upgrade to Internet
Explorer 6.  All was well until Microsoft did another one of their evil
deeds: in IE 5.5 (SP2) and IE6, Microsoft ceased support of
Netscape-style plug-ins.  Microsoft did not even alert other software
developers ahead of time to the looming assault on their products.  So
LCSI had to scramble to develop a new MW plug-in when they became aware
of the problem after the new versions of IE were released. The
MicroWorlds WebPlayer (and Help system) now require an ActiveX plug-in.
You can upgrade your copy of MWPro and the MW WebPlayer through the LCSI
site.  Here are the specific links (available through the FAQ page for
MWPro for PC):

"Q. My Vocabulary examples in the Help system are not working with IE
5.5 (with SP2) or IE 6.

A. Download and install the latest ActiveX WebPlayer plug-in from:
http://www.microworlds.com/webplayer/index.html You will also have to
download and install a new version of the Help system from the following
link: http://www.microworlds.com/webplayer/index.html

Q. When I create HTML templates of my projects they don't seem to
function with IE 5.5 (with SP2) or IE 6.

A. If you are using version 1.07 or lower you will have to update your
copy of MicroWorlds Pro by visiting the following link:
