Thanks, I appreciate the option. (The link directs the user to a site
that lets you download WinHlp32.exe, which will let you view the old
"help" files with Vista.)

I think I'm going to pass because of the scary incompatibility issues,
especially the fact that at least some of Vista's *new* "help" files
are replaced by those from WinHlp. Dealing with Vista is enough with a
headache without having to deal with *that.*

I still contend that for all the money SOM charges just to upgrade its
computer game, it should have a help system that works with the
current Microsoft OS. And SOM shouldn't just brush off the problem
with, "We hope to have a fix sometime in the future," which is pretty
much what the game company says about it.
