I just bought a Powerbook G4 wth Tiger (converted from a lifelong PC user). When I try to open the Mac help it pops open for a split second, the life ring appears in the application bar, and then it closes again right away and the life ring disappears. It just started doing this after three days without problems. What the f@%k is going on? Can anyone help?
 
I had the same problem one day. A way to fix this is to delete the preferences. Go into your "home/library/preferences" and delete the files "com.apple.help.plist" and "com.apple.helpviewer.plist".

That may fix your problem.
