Problems using HTMLHelp inside Access 2000

I am currently having difficulties using Windows 2000
Professional, when trying to call

Private Declare Function HTMLHelpStdCall? Lib "hhctrl.ocx"
_
Alias "HtmlHelpA?" (ByVal? hwnd As Long, _
ByVal? lpHelpFile As String, _
ByVal? wCommand As Long, _
ByVal? dwData As Long) As Long

within Access 2000

inside an event click function I call the function in this
way

HTMLHelpStdCall? 0, "C:\Documents and Settings\StephenG?
\My Documents\Development\HTMLHELP\Mailing List
Sample.chm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 1000

although it appeared to work once, it no longer does
anything not even report any errors.

I suspect it has something to do with having a strange
version of HTMLHelp Workshop Version 4.74 installed which
looks like it may be the Office XP version or something.

The strange thing is I am unable to uninstall this
version, since even after apparently uninstalling, and
rebooting, and then trying to install version 1.3, the
installer insists on telling me I already have a newer
version.

Does anyone else have any similar experience of this, and
any advice guidance on how to rectify the situation. I
suspect I need to edit the registry or something, but am
wary of screwing my whole machine up!
