(reposted here after no reply in microsoft.public.vstudio.general)

I recently got a new laptop + wiped it and started from scratch - put
VS2005 onto it and (only) installed the latest MSDN Library DVD. I
opted for "Try online first, then local" option. I've never put any of
the VS2008 betas on this machine.

However, when I do an F1 help in VS2005, the help pops up but fetches
(from the web) the VS.90 version of the help saying "[Note: This topic
is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future
releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]". The URL it is
fetching is:
<http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ioexception_members(VS.90).aspx>

If I then go to to the "Look for" box in the index on the left and enter
"IOException class, all members", I get the correct (local) page (just
like the next paragraph).

If I change the options to "Try local first, then online" everything
works fine (except I won't get the latest information as I have most of
the MSDN library installed). Doing a F1 on IOException brings up help
with the following URL:
<ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETDEVFX.v20.en/cpref12/html/T_System_IO_IOException_Members.htm>

Anyone got any ideas why this might be, and more importantly, how I can
get it to search online to get the correct results? On my old (XP)
laptop this worked fine - I never had any problems like this. This new
laptop is Vista Business, but I can't imagine that it's a Vista problem.
I have VS2005 SP1 and VS2005 SP1 Update for Vista installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks
