Windows Vista & Windows 7 users cannot access FarmBooks Help documentation

Users who are running FarmBooks on either Windows Vista or Windows 7 Operating System will find they cannot access the FarmBooks Help documentation.

When a user clicks on Help: Contents, they will receive a message stating they cannot view the Help program.

Why this is happening

Microsoft stopped including the 32-bit Help file viewer in Windows releases beginning with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

How to fix it

Windows Vista and Windows 7 users will need to download and install Microsoft’s Help Menu System in order to view the FarmBooks help file. Click on the appropriate download link below to download.
