I recently had some issues and had to have my hard drive re-imaged.

I am a relative novice with Excel VBA and rely heavily on the VBA Help
files. Unfortunately the hot links on the top of the help pages are
missing and there is only a placeholder (small square box shaddow with
a dot in the middle).

This problem is described in Knowledge Base article 822989
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822989). If installing Critical
Update 811630 or Service Pack 4 isn't an option for you -- or if the
problem persists after you install these items -- then you could try
re-registering the HTML Help ActiveX control. (This is the component
responsible for the links in the help files.) To re-register the
control, open a Command Prompt window and type these two commands:

regsvr32 /u %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hhctrl.ocx
