I had the ... "fortune" to fall into similar problems when first installed SP2 under XP.
That's why I had the impression problem was this one.

.chm files can have code embedded. For this reason SP2 understand if a .chm file has been download from internet or created by a seup install. In the first case some protection actions takes place. I have no official Microsoft documentation to reference here but this is what happen nad the above is a possible solution.

if you install a download manager like GetRight it stops that problem. ;D

mmmh, I really like the idea of download managers but in the past I had few problems with them. Some of the well know names contained spy ware components very hard to find even from good personal firewalls like ZoneAlarm Pro. They are hard to find because those kind of software needs to connect to internet so when you authorize them do connect inside your personal firewall you authorize for all connection even the one you are not aware. You need some tcp/ip utilities that check every single ip connection giving info on where they are connected and what data they are exchanging.

So, my suggestion is to check carefully this kind of software.
