.chm problems are well documented and fall under the Blue-Sky support
category of "hmm...that's interesting".
Now that Robohelp belongs to Macromedia, they've improved their support
structure. In addition to some answers I found by googling ".chm
error", their user support forum discusses it in a few topics.
Sorry I can't point you to links - I'm on webphone right now.

Subject: Probs Opening CHM Files
Interesting RoboHelp problem ... see if anyone can shed any light on
it...
Scenario #1:
* In RoboHelp, my co-worker generates a help project as a Microsoft HTML
file. It appears to generate OK.
* When she tries to open the compiled .CHM file, it won't open.
* I can't open the .CHM she generated on my PC either.
Scenario #2:
* In RoboHelp, I take the same help project. I also generate the help
project as a Microsoft HTML file. It appears to generate OK.
* I can open the compiled .CHM file on my PC.
* My co-worker can't open the .CHM file I generated on her PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Yours,
Keith
