   .Net framework docs crash on opening.
  I have had VS.Net (LEGITAMATELY) for a while now, and haven't used it very much. I have decided that I should start using it more, since I'll be making programs that will exceed one .cpp file.ANYWAY.To the point:The .Net framework docs keep crashing when I load them - I'm referring to the docs located in Programs > Microsoft .Net Framework SDK > Documentation.Crashes when it loads.It does say that help is updating after recent changes, however, and when help comes up the application which is loading goes white.Anyone else experience this?

  Which documentation version are you using? ;  1.1 I believe.   ;  Great, just found out I CAN''T open them in VS.Net at all.I opened up one of the things below the Documentation in IE, then opened up the Docs from a Link in IE, they didn''t crash, and I left the "help is updating" thing for 10 minutes - came back - and it was just idling, doing nothing, not making the hard drive purr or anything. So I killed it and came and posted here.Bah, wtf is going on?This bothers me.Time for bed.   ;  The documentation is not numbered with standard version numbers, so it''s looking like a pirated copy atm B-)How many MSDN discs do you have with your VSNET?  If should also specify the month/year of the version.Sorry if you really own a legitimate copy.. don''t take offence, but the troubleshooting problems for help like this are included with the software, and the only times I have seen problems like this was with people using stolen copies B-) ;  I meant it's the 1.1 .Net SDK, which I'm assuming is the same for the docs.No, it's a legitamate copy.Yes, I have 6 CD's - 1-4 are installation, 5 is update (.net, frontpage stuff), and 6 is visual source safe.I got this off of a friend - yes they are all legitamate cd's - he bought 2k3, he gave it to me (guy I worked with at the CAP Site), nice friend he was.Anyway, now will anybody help me?   // EDIT - I might point out that the docs that are crashing are for the .Net SDK.

I remember the installation CDs but I seem to remember the docs installing fine.  Have you tried reinstalling the .NET SDK?With VSNET 2003 you have to install the 3 MSDN discs for any help files, but I forget if you had to with 2002 or not B-) ;  Hmm.Well it USED to work just dandy, not until this year really did it start crashing (just opened it this year not long ago).I have just uninstalled the SDK / Framework, then reinstalled them, and nothing has changed as far as the docs go.Crazy. :/
