When browsing through the help collection for Visual Studio 2003 each page is very slow to load eg. when browsing through the class library reference section and choosing, say, system.xml.xmldocument members page, the page takes quite a long time to display, although the help is installed on my hard drive. Does anyopne else have this problem? It didn't used to happen, but I think it started after I installed some windows updates a while ago - could be a security thing? Thanks for any help

I usually add the folder containing the Help files to the Exceptions list in McAfee properties. Bob Barrows -- Microsoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.
