Visual C++ 5 missing help after installing Windows XP SP2

I have been developing on Visual C++ 5.0 on a Windows XP box. I installed
the SP2 for XP, and now I can't get to the help file for VC, any ideas? I
can't get at it from the help menu or from highlighting a function and
hitting F1.

This makes it really hard to look up definitions of functions. Do I have to
uninstall SP2 or can I fix this in some other way? Would installing a new
Windows SDK fix it?

Thanks for any help,
scott
