Hi Doug,

Hhctrl.ocx is part of the Microsoft HTML Help viewer (hence why you
can't see the help!). It's almost certainly having trouble with your
Internet Explorer installation, but knowing nothing about Win4Lin, I'm
not sure what to suggest (can you install an up-to-date IE on it?).

How badly do you actually need the help? It's more or less copied onto
the pgAdmin website (http://www.pgadmin.org) and about the only thing
that isn't there is the PostgreSQL documentation which is at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/....

Hi all,
Yesterday, I upgraded my db server to RH9, and as usual with RH updates, it
did not go smoothly. After several hours of 'tweaking', I finally got
everything working again, except now pgadmin crashes whenever connecting to
the database. This happens on every client machine. Here is the log from one
of them.

Does anyone have any idea what this means or how to correct it?  Please help!
