Okay, Speaking of Ignore... please disregard my previous reply below.

See if you can right-click on the povray.chm file and in Properties, on the
General tab, check the box for Unblock.
Don't Ignore or Ignore All, and instead use Try Again (if same is seen on your
Windows system), then maybe the Administrator message will pop up and you can
let that get you through this like I did.

My Help contents now appear intact. Of course, I haven't looked at it all yet
but the context help seems to be okay now (selecting a keyword and pressing F1
key) and the menu buttons for POV-Win and Scene Help show up for me after doing
the above.
