WB6.2 and Windows Server 2008 - not entirely smooth sailing....

I just installed WB6.2 on my machine running Server 2008 (I didn't have any version of WB on it before) and it appears that it has broken the Help feature. When I attempt to start Help from the start menu or from any links, Taskbar simply freezes for 30-40 seconds or so and no help system is loaded when it frees up again.

Hopefully this can be sorted out, as it is a pretty big drawback if this applies to everyone and not only myself.

Forgot to mention that de-installing WB did indeed restore the Help funtionality in Server 2008. Since that's a big deal while familiarising myself with the OS and, most importantly, Hyper-V, I really can't see myself using WB until this gets fixed.

May not be I guess, but considering it is almost a carbon copy of Server 2008, only with a different set of features.....

My quess is you are using a trial version and do not actually use a server as a role model.
If you are! Then why are you using GUI with a server? It would be very un-needed by any stan-point.
If you have plans to use that server properly - remove the themes and any type of graphics being used.
You should look more into the workings of a server before trying to use such a machine as a terminal or work-station.

Totally off-topic matey, but I'll bite the troll's hook regardless.

"My quess is you are using a trial version and do not actually use a server as a role model."

So?

"If you are! Then why are you using GUI with a server? It would be very un-needed by any stan-point."

If such was the case, what business would it be of yours?

"If you have plans to use that server properly - remove the themes and any type of graphics being used."

I'll use it exactly as I want to use it, thanks ever so muchly.

"You should look more into the workings of a server before trying to use such a machine as a terminal or work-station."

Oh really? Well pardon me all over the place then.

If you have any thoughts on the issue I raised, by all means pipe up. If not, then kindly bugger off.
