Also, clicking on the "?" in the top right corner of the VS screen brings up the help file that is practically identical to the user's manual.

User Manual - Corel website hides it well

Post by Can1867 »

I agree that I can't believe I cannot find the VS User Manual on the Corel website. I have tons of software and computer hardware and always like to download the user manual (as a pdf) and search through it. I probably spent 10 minutes searching the Corel website to no avail.

I never did find it and finally searched the VS user forum and found it in this posting.

I am thankful for this website and I am amazed at the amount of activity.

But I am still frustrated with the Corel website.

Best regards

Clicking on the ? in the top right corner of the VS screen will open the Help file, which is essentially the same as the printed manual. However, whenever I click on any topic the Help file immediately crashes. Some help. :?

Have you tried opening the help file through ~Program Files>Corel>Video Studio 12>vstudio.chm? Just thinking if it doesn't crash, it would eliminate the file itself from being corrupt. As you're probably aware the help file is just a modified HTML (web doc). So the crashing may be related more toward a browser issue than VS itself. I've tried to get it to crash on my XP machine, which is updated to SP3, and just installed another auto-update this morning, but can not get it to crash..

Nope. Same thing happens. I don't use the Help anyway, so it's no big deal. In fact, I would never have known of the problem if the OP hadn't brought up the subject.

BTW, VS10 Help does the same thing. :roll:

Seems to be a system problem Jeff. I tried all versions I currently have installed (VS8 through 12) on my XP machine, and none of them crashed when using the Help file. :? :?

Well, like I said I don't use the Help files, and everything else seems to be working ok so I'm not going to waste any time on it. Baseball season has started so I will be busy!
