other application files

I have other applications on my computer that are written in the 'old' Windows format. When I launch the other application's help files I get the Vista Help that tells me that Vista can not launch the Help file.
I receive "Why can't I get Help from this program?" Vista window. Reviewing the data on Vista it seems that any application that isn't written in the 'new' Vista Help format the user can not ever get that application's help.
Is this right or am I missing something? -- Glen

Hi Glen,
It's up to the distributors of each program to update their help files to be compatible. Some will, some won't.
