Works OK here.
Is it win 7 or vista ?
Are you trying from the menu or F1 key ? or are both not working ?

I think I have the answer.
The machines with the problem are all windows 7.
It seems this version does not have the software installed to view older help files.
The following link should resolve this.

Will confirm when tested.
