Help definitely works in Visual FoxPro in Windows 8 both under full admin accounts and UAC enabled accounts.If it's your applications that are having problems, check to make sure the FoxPro help components are installed. FoxPro apps require a couple of support files to bring up help in your applications.

The help files I created in Windows XP do not work in Windows 8. I'm using VFP9 and I have version 4.677. When I press the F1 key that I use to popup my help file nothing happens and if I click with my mouse I get a message saying this is program is busy and I'm locked up. Any ideas what needs to be done with Windows 8?
