Chris,

You're not going mad; I encountered the same situation when I upgraded to 
NT3.51. I was told that it has to do with the Win95-like help in NT3.51. 
The real kicker is that Win95 doesn't have this problem. I've heard that 
there is a service pack available for NT3.51. I don't know if the 
"feature" (BUG) has been corrected. But, I've just been too weary after 
getting burned by the first NT3.5 service pack to try it.

I have someone hear calling Microsoft. When (if) we find a solution I'll 
post it.

By the way, I upgraded to a P100 with 64Meg and help still takes f___ing 
forever...

Helpless (not hapless),
Erik
