Recent Install - missing Help file stuff/topics

Hello.  I found the following missing topics in the help files from:

1. Program - Database Desktop - I got a error msg "Can't open Table.  But
   when I asked for help, I got "Contact vendor for updated Help file (129)
   and
   "Can not find the Context Id#3.  It may be missing from the [MAP] section
   of the .HPJ file. OK"

   The vendor is Borland.  Did nayone else find this missing?  How do I ge
    this help file from borland.

2. Database Explorer - Help on main topic.  I got 'Missing bullet.bmp".  I
searched on my Delphi HD and then the Delphi CDROM.  No luck.  So where do I
get this "bullet.bmp"

3. Program BDE - Help - on the Overview Topic of the BDE and other topics.  I
got:

" The window name "overview" was not defined in your project file."

Then the Overview Topic came up.  Same thing happned with the other BDE
Topics.  How do I get this corrected?

4.  I created a bunch of Paradox V. 7 tables, about 8 - 9, of them many
months ago.  I tried to use the Databae DeskTop to review them but I could
not open all of them.  In fact, I could open two of them but I could not open
the other seven(7).  What is going on here?

This is when I ran into the "unable to open table" error above and couldn't
get any help for this problem.

I could open more recently created tables that I created from scratch.  Also
I just created(today) an entire demo apps from scratch from DEMODBS (which
was predefined by Borland).  This apps clean compiled and executed just fine.

So why can't I open these other tables I created months ago.  They are in
their own directory and have always been in their own directory and months
ago I could open them and alter them at will, using Database Desktop.

I even tried to create new alias names for these older tables but no help.

What am I missing here?  Thanks for any help.

I ran into another help file problem.

    What version of Delphi are you running?
and all help files are in the runimage dir on your CD.
    I would do a file search on your CD than see if you can locate your missing
files.

Hi, {*word*259}us.  Thanks for responding because I am not sure how to
deal with this missing help file stuff for the different
programs/utilities that come with Delphi 2, Developer Edition.

Below I will try to make my original msg clearer for you. Thanks.

I am NOT missing the entire Help file for DBD.  That is as you state on
the CDROM.  I am missing parts of it.  I am getting errors telling me
the parts/topic I want to display from the contents or index are not the
Help file.

It seems to me that I need a new DBSD Help file from that error msg
above.  What do you thinl?  How do I get a new DBD Help file that will
display the topics indicated?
