Downloaded a CHM file but can’t view it?

Navigation to the webpage was canceled. What you can try: Retype the address

If you’ve downloaded a .chm file, but on opening it, can’t see anything, I have a solution for you :)

Ta-da

  • Right click on the file > Properties
  • Find the “Unblock” button, and click it.
  • Re-open the .chm and it should now display properly :)
