Problem fixed!
First, I managed to resurrect the faulty CD after all. I had
previously attempted to copy off the entire CD contents into a
temporary folder on the hard drive, but today instead of trying to
select and copy off all the files, then almost immediately hitting a
cyclic redundancy error, I copied each folder in turn, thinking maybe
most of the files are okay.
There are 27,524 files in 2,614 folders on that CD, however the vast
majority of the folders (and files contained therein) copied without
any error. In the end I had only THREE files that were causing the
cyclic redundancy error, BBOARD.DLL, MSSETUP.DLL and VSSETUP.TTF and I
figured I'd be able to find these files elsewhere.
As it turned out, after the CD had been in the drive for 45 minutes
whilst I was going through the above process, the faulty files
magically allowed themselves to be copied without error! (Maybe the CD
and/or drive had warmed up by then?)
Anyway, I burned another CD and lo and behold, it worked! The second
CD wasn't faulty, but I made a backup anyway.
However, then later this morning I installed MSDN Library Visual
Studio 6.0a, but the problem was exactly the same: No "See Also",
"Examples", etc. :(
So I checked which versions of hhctrl.ocx I had and where. The one
registered was in c:\winnt\system32 with a version number of
5.2.3790.233
However, in c:\windows\system on the same w2k machine there was
version 4.73.8412.0 sitting there. So I unregistered the one in
system32 and registered the one in system and bingo, the problem
disappeared! See Also, Examples, Properties, Methods, and Events are
now back!
By the way, when you search the internet you'll find references to MS
knowledge base articles 890175, 892675, 896358 and 896905, and I tried
one or two of the suggestions in them, but none worked to fix my
problem.
