I have Delphi 2006.  When I am logged in (WinXP Pro) as a regular user and I 
try to start the Help system (Help...Borland Help), I get this error 
message: "No topic-based help system installed".  The error window (details) 
references line 691 of  "HelpIntfs.pas".  Also, the F1 key does nothing. 
However, when I am logged into an account with administrator rights, the 
help system works fine, and starts either from the menu or by pressing F1.

I have read several places about resetting a registry entry for 
dexplore.exe.  I have checked this, and it is correct.  I have reinstalled 
.NET framework 1.1.

Does anyone have a suggestion for what could be causing the help system to 
fail only for a regular user?

I have the same problem, no time to debug help problems.
