(link) His solution was to uncheck ‘Modify IE Settings on Application Start/Stop”. Unfortunately for me, I didn’t want to uncheck that setting. I like that when I start Service Capture, it automatically sets up the proxy on open browser windows. Luckily, IE6 proxys traffic for “localhost” but doesn’t for 127.0.0.1. Flex Help is initially setup to run from 127.0.0.1, hence, missing Service Capture. Therefore, going into Flex Builder -> Preferences -> Help -> Help Server and making the Host Name: “localhost” and the Server Port: “57266″ allowed me to leave ‘Modify IE Settings on Application Start/Stop” checked and still use Flex Help.

Setting the external browser to firefox fixes the issue for me (while using service capture). This had been bugging me for some time too ! :) Cheers, Aran James.

Or does ServiceCapture still interfere? Windows > Preferences > General > Web Browser > 'Use external Web browser' :: Firefox Windows > Preferences > Help > 'Use external browser' In my case, I only read the docs in an external browser because of the vast amount of memory that FB2 eats. Also, I've been wondering about the "Help Server" option and if a small-medium team without much experiene with flex would benefit from a dedicated. Running it locally shouldn't be too demanding, right? I haven’t tried it, but if the help docs were pulled up in FF would that also be a feasible workaround? Or does ServiceCapture still interfere?
