Sometimes the help inexplicably goes away and F1 no longer works. I've had this happen a few times and I'm not sure why but here are steps you can take to get it back:
1. Open up Task Manager and close any instances of dexplorer.exe that are running.
2. Unregister the help with the command (replace the path with the appropriate path on your system): "C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Help\Doc\H2Reg.exe" -u cmdfile="C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Help\Doc\h2reg.ini"
3. Register the help with the command (replace the path with the appropriate path on your system): "C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Help\Doc\H2Reg.exe" -r cmdfile="C:\Program Files\CodeGear\RAD Studio\5.0\Help\Doc\h2reg.ini"

Even without adding 3rd party tools? That's worst than I thought... :(
It usually happen when one is messing with things, like installing 3rd party tools ;)
Ah! From what you said, it looked as if out of the blue it disappeared, like depending on what phase the moon was on! :)
BTW: you might want to check this for another help tip: How to make help work.
Oh, it has just disappeared on me before, just typically happens when one is messing with things. Once real bad, still can't get it working again.
Turbo Power killed my help, bad integration proceedure for their help it seems.. Hope they fix it, I would HATE to have to do this every time I update components.
