Hmm... This is odd on the face of it because itircl.dll is part of the HTML Help runtime components for displaying HTML Help .chm files in Windows, so it really shouldn't have anything to do with H&M directly. I've forwarded the question to the H&M programmers. Offhand I can only imagine that you had the H&M help open and an error occurred in itircl.dll for some reason. This is not so uncommon.
Since you are running XP you can refresh your HTML Help runtime components by downloading this hotfix from Microsoft (there is no similar package for Vista yet):

Hmm... Try installing H&M on another machine and see if you get the same results. If not it is probably time to reformat your hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows.

I talked to the programmers about this and before you pick up the sledgehammer they recommend compiling your chm manually to see whether you are getting any meaningful error messages from the hhc compiler.
1: Compile to CHM with Help & Manual and DEselect the "Delete temporary files option in the Compile dialog. This will create a directory called \~tmpchm in your project directory.
2: Open Microsoft HTML Help Workshop (this was installed automatically when you installed the HTML Help compiler).
3: In Workshop, select File - Open and open the *.hhp file in your \~tmpchm directory.
4: Without making any changes select File - Compile and click on the [Compile] button.
