Application crash when calling the Help.ShowHelp method

On some PCs I have my application completely crash (with the standard
Windows message) when I make a call to the Help.ShowHelp method to
display the help guide

Here's the call I make.

Form form = new Form();
form.CreateControl();
Help.ShowHelp(form, HelpFileName, HelpNavigator.Topic, pagename);
What's strange is this doesn't happen on every pc. I always happens on
my work PC while at home the code works fine.
Thanks,
Andrea
