    I just did a clean wipe of my HD, reinstalled all sorts of stuff. I'm
    running MD4 SP4a, NT4 sp6a. Under the Express tools pull down> Help> I
    get an HTML Help ActiveX Control message. "You need a newer version of
    HHCTRL.OCX to be able to read this file" What do I do now?

    Thanks
    Please use plain text.

    No, I prefer Netscape. Is IE required? Can I make MD/ACAD default to
    Netscape?

    Simply install the latest IE and don't use it. AutoCAD makes extenive use of
    microsoft software and needs it for the help functions.
