Peter,
I have the same issue with IE8 and TCS 1.0 (ie Robohelp 7) the first time the help is called all is fine.
[Poster is referring to thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/574820 but issue is not the same as it relates to different versions of both RH and the browser. In RH8 it was a known bug. For RH7 the cause remains to be identified.]
If you don't close the help window and call the help again I get the blank page the third time, I get an error message as described in the thread.
Any suggestions?
We tried to use the file you posted and it doesn't work.
I would appreciate any ideas.

I think you will have to point your developers to my Calling Help pages, in particular the one on Calling WebHelp Using URL's. The bug was with RH8.

Peter, I wrote about this same problem with RH7 & IE8 about two months ago. Our developers use map ids to call the help. We still have this problem. The help pages display correctly with IE 6 & IE 7 - we only have the problem with IE 8. I opened a support case online with Adobe, and I'm still trying to get an answer from them after two months. (They requested additional information yesterday, and I will send them more information.) Anyway, I'm posting again because I wanted Laura to know that she's not the only one who has encountered this problem using RH7 & IE8, and I wondered if her developers use map ids too.
Thanks,
Julie

I have branched this into a new thread as it is a different problem.

I don't have any suggestions as this is not something I can test. Sorry.

I understand and am always appreciative of your helpfulness on this forum. If anyone else is having this problem, I hope they will report to Adobe.
Thanks,

Thank you Julie, it is so nice to know you're not alone. We DO use Map IDs for the help....
How do I open a case w/Adobe?

Hi Laura,
If you have a support contract, you can call the Adobe tech support phone number. If you do not have a support contract, you can open a case online (log into your account and look for Support Portal and submit your problem.) I would call tech support first if you are not sure about the contract. They should be able to give you more information about opening a case.
Thanks,
Julie

Any news on this? I have the same issue. Is the answer to upgrade to RH8?

It is an answer but I believe the problem is being investigated.
If you do decide to upgrade, check the trial version fixes your problem first, and not on your production machine.

Hi, I heard from Piyush Bhatnagar that there was still no reply from the engineering team, and it may still be awhile before we heard from them. Anyway, you may want to report this to Adobe so they understand that more people are running into the problem.
Thanks,
Julie

Right now it is with the engineers at Adobe. It is not clear when a solution will be available. If anyone can suggest a workaround I am open to ideas as this bug has made the online help on our UI not working the way it should.
