slakic is quite correct.
When first downloaded, Windows systems may refuse to open a .CHM help file, showing "Navigation to the webpage was canceled!".
This is caused by a standard Windows security action; to enable viewing:
- Select the .CHM file in Windows Explorer.
- 'Right-click' to invoke the context menu.
- Select 'Properties' to invoke the Properties dialogue.
- Near the bottom of the 'General' tab will be a comment "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer".
- Next to the comment should be a button labelled 'Unblock'; click this button (assuming that you trust the compiled HTML help file to be benign).
- Exit from the dialogue using the 'OK' button.

... which implies that the .CHM file has NOT been downloaded (and is therefore not being blocked for security reasons); hence there must be another reason for the error message.
Can you provide more detail about the .CHM file in question (e.g. how did you load it onto your system), and exactly what the error message is.
Do you get the same error if you attempt to open any of the 'standard' .CHM files held in C:\Windows\Help and sub-folders?
