Error Message- The parameter is incorrect

It's a moot point. RoboHelp crashed and burned after I clicked OK in the "parameter is incorrect" message box about 10 times.

Deleted the PSS file and restarted RoboHelp. So far, so good, but I haven't touched any of the Printed Documentation features since.

Peter -- your site is great! Very organized and easy to find things. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Yes close it down by any means. I would suggest a reboot too to be safe.

I just got the "parameter is incorrect" message under a completely different set of circumstances. I opened my project and clicked the PDF button at the top (accidentally -- meant to launch the latest version of the help rather than generate PDF). Anyway, PDF was generated successfully so I opened it. When I went back to the RoboHelp window, I tried to right-click Printed Documentation under Single Source (because I was going to tweak some settings) and the dreaded "The parameter is incorrect." error popped up. I cannot close the error box or do ANYTHING else in RoboHelp. I guess I'm going to have to kill the process???? This is really ugly...

And I did see the "snipped" about deleting the PSS file. But I assume I need to exit RoboHelp first?

Using Windows Explorer locate the project. In the root you will find a file with the extension PSS.

Simply highlight it and delete the file by pressing the Delete key.

If in doubt, take a copy of your project first.

Peter.....looked at site under snippets....... said........"So just close your project, use Windows Explorer to delete the PSS file" ....not following you, how do I do that?

Welcome to the forum.

See Snippets on my site. Look for The Parameter is Incorrect.
