If you are experiencing problems with your Beta 2 help, you may need to repair it, especially if you had a prior tech preview installed.

The Help 3 team blogs tells you how to fix it:

Moving on again!

AprilR — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 23:10:00 GMT

Hey there blog readers :) Just a quick post to let you know that I am moving again - this time to Microsoft Surface

I have been in our Developer Division for 11 years; I have had a great time working on the development of Microsoft Help 3.0, and unforgettable times working on the Visual C++ team. I've enjoyed communicating with all of you over these past few years, too!

But, I am definitely ready to take on a new challenge. I'll be utilizing my project management skills and exploring application of recently learned skills from the UW Bothell MBA program in tackling a new product, business and customer base.

SO, if you want to keep up with the latest on Help 3, make sure you subscribe to the Help 3 team blog and if you use Twitter, follow @Help3! Soon we will be posting a great guide about the new "platform."

If you want to keep up with Visual C++, you probably already know about the C++ Team Blog.

Thanks for all of your comments and support. I hope you follow me to the new world of Surface, too!

April

Help3 @ WritersUA

AprilR — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 19:55:00 GMT

Monday I presented the latest news on Microsoft Help 3.0 at the 2009 Software User Assistance conference hosted by WritersUA! We've made a lot of progress and many design decisions and changes since PDC back in October. We had originally expected to be ready Visual Studio's next Beta release, but now we plan to show off our bits in Beta 2. Over the next month I'll be writing several posts about the ins and outs of Help3 and at the end of April I will be back on Channel9 with some demos and any updates.

As our team has grown, and we've been getting MVPs and VSIP partners up to speed, so you'll be able to keep up with Help 3 in a couple of new ways:

A new Facebook Help 3 page run by our beloved Microsoft Help MVPS -
