Have now tried something else. Right-click on povray.chm and go into Properties.
Under General tab is checkbox "unblock". That was a suggested fix I found on the
'net about these chm help files.

Get message when attempting that: "Too many posts were made to semaphore".

When button for Ignore is pressed, or Ignore All, nothing changes regarding
empty contents of the help file when opened next time.

Maybe this will make sense, all I know about it is what I find on the 'net and I
guess this is supposed to be about multiple calls to places within the file
going wrong somehow.
