In RH8, I've compiled successfully, per the RH

message, BUT in the Output View it says the following:

Fatal Error: Unexpected error from Microsoft HTML compiler.

Secondly, when I click on the View button to view the .chm, nothing happens.

    This issue has changed. After compiling, now I get no window that states it compiled the .chm successfully, do I want to view it, etc.? Plus when I go to where I've directed the .chm file to go, I get this message:

    This program cannot display the webpage

    Now I've tried the open the file again and I get the first error:

    My guess is you are generating to a network location. Generate to your hard drive.

    See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/chm_mspatch/896358.htm for why you cannot generate to a network drive.
