Help Viewer Problem

Has anyone else had this problem?: After clicking Mac Help on the top toolbar, the Help Viewer appears for about a quarter of a second and disappears. It won't let me open it. It's only been doing this the last couple of days.

Anyone?

I've been having a lot of trouble recently, but more of the takes-two-minutes-to-execute-a-search variety. But try this -- definitely worth a bookmark:

Glad it worked! 🙂 I've found that, whatever corrupts the help viewer prefs files or cache, I'm having the problem more and more frequently. Guess it means that one of my programs that I run help on is a bad, bad, bad 🙄 Although, I mostly use help viewer for the MacOSX help. Hmmm... 😱

But my issues mostly seemed to be solved by deleting the three prefs files and the one cache file, a trick I learned very recently right here on MacRumors. 😉
