MTHelp stopped working. I don't know when did this start, but now, when I run it, I get the message:

mthelp: The viewer could not be started.

It seems that this is a Windows XP problem. It works under Windows 7.

I also have problems with mthelp on Windows XP. Today I've tested again and works with some files but fail with others.

From a cmd window typing mthelp a0 (or memman, pgfplotstable, tabularx) open corresponding manual in pdf default viewer or yap. It doesn't open the browser and shows a page with links to all related files.

mthelp anysize (or acronym, animate, tabu, beamer, pgfplots) fails

I could not find any similarities neither between succesful packages nor unsuccseful ones.

Best regards,

Ignasi Furió
