Trouble accessing Help files (running Windows 7)

Trouble accessing Help files (running Windows 7)
Does anyone else have trouble opening the Help files (General Help, Campaign Notes, User Manual, and Getting Started) from within any of the SB games via the menu pull-down or by using hotkeys (e.g., F1)? I can open them from the Desktop (e.g., by clicking Start > All Programs > HPS Red Victory > Red Victory > Main Program Help File), but nothing happens when I try opening them from within the game itself.

I tend to think it has something to do with the fact that I'm running Windows 7 and that the Help files are in a format that is incompatible with Windows 7. However, I've installed the WinHlp32.exe (suggested by Microsoft's KB917607 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 ) and besides I thought the Help files were in PDF format now. It's not a big deal to me at all; I'm really just raising the issue in case new players experience the same thing.
Nevermind. Known issue. I forgot all about the post on HPS' site about Windows 7... (see http://www.hpssims.com/vistahelp.htm )

Btw, I tried deleting this post, but I didn't have permissions.
