I need to know, if Microsoft have some patch for Windows Vista about the file
"win32hlp".

I trying install old games, and the OS send a message "the file win32hlp is
not found", and i installed games from DOS, and those games can't execute it.

For these reason, i wish to know if exist some patch or if in the Windows
Vista SP1 the file comment and about the installation of games in DOS.

Thanks, for you Attention.

No, it's not, Vista removed the Win32hlp program used to read old .HLP
formatted files, to restore function to old .HLP files there is a kb
(knowledge base) article on the Microsoft site where you can download an
application so Vista can read those old help files again.

Tells you how to install WinHlp32.exe for Vista, but I've found this
sometimes still doesn't completely fix the problem. Basically Microsoft
doesn't like .hlp files so they are phasing them out. Hopefully this
will get the help files to come up on your system.

If not you can always install Win2k via Virtual PC 2007 or something.
