CHM loading error

Today is my first day in a small internet travel agency in Greece. I left my job in a big ISP saving the world and some manager’s arses. Small company, quiet environment, small PC, and everything is done with windows and Microsoft tools.

Visual Studio, as always, impressed me with new tools that help a lot. But as always too, I could see the the not so good way it has to organize the code. Even I got scared when I saw the code for the automatic templates generated for asp web pages. Nothing is perfect.

Also I started to suffer the first windows problmes. In this case “I couldn’t open a .chm file”. So if you see in your windows a message like the one in the pic when you open a .chm file. Just modiy or create the following registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\HHRestrictions]
“MaxAllowedZone”=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
“MaxAllowedZone”=dword:00000001

All credits for this go to Ken.

So I hope I found a good place to work, and not another ISP chaos place.

    Hey man, Chris from the old ISP chaos place. I had a problem in python today and I turned my
    head to have you take a look at it before I had to remind myself you weren’t there.

    Hope you’ve found a good place to settle down and have at least some fun.

    Oh, and, loved your post about the good and bad things about working for a big company. All true.

    Take care and don’t be a stranger.

    Oh, and sorry for yelling a lot and not letting you concentrate, I’ve worked a year in technical support, my nerves are screwed up for life.

    Man,
    sucks to work using MS only technologies.
    Good thing that you moved out of this ISP mess :)
