I was glad to see that in the .150 update you fixed some of my reported issues, but after installing it help is broken. Another PS user here has the same problem after the update.
Thanks,

Verify that the file PrimalScript2011.chm exists in the PrimalScript installation folder.
It would also help to know which action you took when you got this dialog.

Alexander,That file does exist: "C:Program FilesSAPIEN Technologies, IncPrimalScript 2011primalscript2011.chm"It is dated 8/30/2011 and it opens fine when I double click it. When I get the error I just click OK and it goes away. No help is displayed. I rebooted and it still does not open help from Help menu. FYI, this is on Windows 7 Ultimate x64

"..not open help from Help menu."
What item specifically are you selecting?

According to ProcessMonitor it is looking for the wrong file: I renamed the help file to PrimalScript.chm and now it's working.

Hmm, not quite sure what is happening here. It clearly says to launch PrimalScript2011.chm....
Another day, another mystery. Thanks for letting us know.

Now that I got the help working I'm trying to use it and guess what. It's always on top. That was supposed to be fixed in the .150 update. ARGH!
