Hi

When I press F1 I get a message

Help not Found. NO help found for D:\*****

How can I fix this?

Thank you

Where is the caret position when you press F1? F1 is implemented as
context sensitive help instead of general help, it would look for
documentation for token under the caret. That "Help not found" would
be shown when the help for corresponding token is... well... not
found. Also, please ensure you have the help files under
$(LazarusDir)\docs\html.

I think he means that if you install Lazarus, open a project, place
the caret on a keyword and then hit F1 you do not get the help window
for that item.

I uninstalled and Re-installed. But problem persists.

Also when I open Lazarus I get 2 Dialog boxes

Unable to open package " cgiLazUnable to open package  "CGILazIDE
Both these problem persist even when I re-install Lazarus..

As always many thx

This most likely arises because you have leftover files from an
earlier installation.
Close Lazarus and delete the primary lazarus config folder. In a Win7
setup on drive D: it would be
D:\Users\username\AppData\Local\lazarus
Then restart Lazarus, and that should clear the package problem. Any
needed config files are recreated automatically by Lazarus.

Now there are no Errors reported when I start Lazarus. thx

I still don't have context help. I remember I did once..

But any improvement is great!
