WYSIWYG Editor Missing from RoboHelp 5

[katanner]

I have Windows Vista and am fully aware that RoboHelp 5 & Vista do not like each other. However, my RoboHelp 5 was working fine until yesterday when the WYSIWYG Editor disappeared. When I try to edit a page in WYSIWYG, IE 7 opens the page instead. When I open RoboHelp, I get an error stating that Component 4 cannot load. I am figuring that Component 4 is the WYSIWYG Editor. I've already tried reinstalling RoboHelp 5 to no avail. Any suggestions? I hope someone can help!

Hi Kelly. It looks like IE7 has been made your default editor in the HTML Editors tab of your Tools > Options menu item. Go back in, if you can and set the WYSIWYG to be the default.

Hi Colum, I have unfortunately tried that several times. I sure wish it made that much sense! Any other ideas? I just don't understand why it suddenly stopped working. I see that others are having this issue as well but there are no "fixes" as far as I can tell. Please let me know if you have another idea. I can't stand editing everyhting in Truecode.

Thanks,
Kelly

I'm afraid the obvious answer may be to stop using Vista or upgrade to RH7. Have you tried using IE6?

Have you searched these forums for Component 4. There have been a number of posts about this issue.

I am happy to see that the RoboHelp 7 trial has been posted! I hope this fixes all of my Vista incompatiblilies (at least with RoboHelp).
