After installing the workbench the majority of my help system is broken. The Help Contents and the MyEclipse Help display a blank frame. I am running Eclipse 2.1.0 on Windows 2000.
Here’s a thread that reported a similar problem and resolution. It appears to be caused by an environmental issue, but hopefully this will help you run it down. Please let us know if it gets you up and running:

MyEclipse SupportThe thread suggestions I saw were:
1. reboot
2. check extensions dir
3. check the logRebooting did not fix the problem. I have not added any jars to my JDK’s extensions directory. Also, I view the log file and there are no recent entries.
Interesting. The other thing to verify is the number of plugins in your Eclipse installation that begin with org.eclipse.pde.*. If it’s not 7, you don’t have a full Eclipse installation and this will be the issue. Another thing to check is your Eclipse configuration at Help > About Eclipse Platform > Configuration Details. Have a look at the JDK settings etc and make sure they look correct for your platform.
If that’s all ok, I’d suggest uninstalling MyEclipse then relaunching Eclipse to see if Help is working. If it’s not, I’d check the log again to look for an error entry.
Please let us know what you find.

MyEclipse Support1. There were 7 .pde.* files
2. I did not see anything unusual in the Config. Details.
3. I uninstalled MyEclispse, re-launched Eclipse and the Help worked.
4. I re-installed MyEclipse and Help is now working.I have Eclipse on my T: drive. On first install of MyEclipse, it was installed on the C: drive. When I re-installed MyEclipse, I installed it on the T: drive so both are on the same drive. There is only one physical drive with multiple partitions. This is the only difference I am aware of.
Thanks for you help : )
