Problems with Help Manual

Hi,

I really hope you can help me! I originally downloaded GIMP version 2, with the help manual, and it worked really well. Then came GIMP 2.4, and I got that. I also downloaded the Help manual. BUT, I couldn't get it to work with the program, or even separately. Two days ago I decided to do everything I could to get the help info.

1. I went to the online version. Problem is, I have a dial-up connection, so this isn't an option. 2. I found http://docs.gimp.org/ and downloaded the file.It is gimp-help-2.4.2.tar. This one I couldn't open, nor could I get it to work with the GIMP program in any way. 3. After a lot more trawling, I came to GIMPUserManual PDF. "Now, I thought, I've got it!" BUT, although it looks like a .zip file, it isn't, and ZIP won't open it.

So, here I sit with two downloaded Help Manuals, but can't even open them!

Do please tell me where to go from here!

Best Regards, Chris Szabo

It would help a lot if you told us what operating system you are using.

Problems with Help Manual

I have the same problem. I installed the help program that was bundled with the Gimp version I got from a magazine. But when I click on the help menu in Gimp all I get is a message that says "the Gimp user menu is not installed on my computer". What do I need to do now?
