I'm unsure if this Microsoft article will help, given Rick's information, but it can't hurt to have a look.

"I cannot open Help that was created in the Windows Help format (WinHlp32.exe)"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607#kna

In the Known issues section, "Known issues that may occur after you install the WinHlp32.exe update" indicates that a bunch of macros may be disabled and cause the 1037 error you are getting.

"How to enable macros on a single computer after you install WinHlp32.exe" provides details on how to enable the macros.

HTH,

Amber

Amber's answer is indeed the correct one.

You must have already downloaded the Winhelp engine to get this far.

If running over an intranet, there is an additional step needed and described in the same KB article

Are you creating the help or trying to look at help you've just created? What flavour of help is it? Are you using a browser to view it? If so, what flavour is that?

It is a Win2000 version that was created at least 4 years ago and has worked well on previous platforms.
