Q: 

Application freezes when performing help file search

I have a large C# application and a help file in *.chm format. When I press F1 to display this help file and select "Search" tab, type something and click "List Topics" button, both the help window and the entire application freeze.

What's interesting when I simply open the *.chm file in the Windows Explorer, the search functionality works brilliantly.

In order to display the help file from my application, I am executing:

Help.ShowHelp(this, helpFileName);

This method is executed from within the main form of the application on the UI thread.

A: 

the same is happening to me if I use and DirectX calls or OpenGL calls or Flash Preview before I open the help. I suspect exception handling....
