You should find MANY help files on your hard drive when you do a search
- alot of them in the \windows\help folder. If you can't get any to
open, there must be a problem with the association and/or winhlp32.exe
file. So, right-click a .hlp file (might have to Shift + right-click),
choose Open With.... and select the Windows Winhlp32Stub. If you don't
see it in the list, click the Browse button and find it in
\windows\system32 folder (and make sure the "Always use the selected
program to open this kind of file" checkbox is selected)

p.s. Uninstalling a program is done either in Add-Remove Programs, or
the uninstall routine that came with the program and would be located
within the Start/Programs choices.
