Get-Help is returning only cmdlet syntax (even when using -full) on all cmdlets. I've imported PCSX 2.0 to Win2003 R2, Win7 and Win2008 R2 machines and same result on all three.

Are you using any other functions that proxy Get-Help? Execute:
Get-Command Get-Help | fl *
and post the output here.
As a work-around for now, you can turn off the PSCX Get-Help proxy command by editing your Pscx.UserPreferences.ps1 file. If you're not using this file, copy it from the ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Pscx folder into your home folder. Edit it and change
the following line (change $true to $false):
GetHelp = $true # change to $false
Save the file and now when you import PSCX, specify the command like so:
Import-Module Pscx -arg ~\Pscx.UserPreferences.ps1
Now give Get-Help a go and see if it is back to normal.

Here is the command output.

Builtin cmdlets are OK:
get-help write-output
NAME
Write-Output
SYNOPSIS
Sends the specified objects to the next command in the pipeline. If the command is the last command in the pipeline
, the objects are displayed in the console.
SYNTAX
Write-Output [-InputObject] <PSObject[]> [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Write-Output cmdlet sends the specified object down the pipeline to the next command. If the command is the las
t command in the pipeline, the object is displayed in the console.
Write-Output sends objects down the primary pipeline, also known as the "output stream" or the "success pipeline."
To send error objects down the error pipeline, use Write-Error.
This cmdlet is typically used in scripts to display strings and other objects on the console. However, because the
default behavior is to display the objects at the end of a pipeline, it is generally not necessary to use the cmdle
t. For example, "get-process | write-output" is equivalent to "get-process".

To see the examples, type: "get-help Write-Output -examples".

For technical information, type: "get-help Write-Output -full".
I'll try the workaround as well.
Thanks!

Argh! The help file got borked somehow. It only seems to have the provider help in it. I'll take a look at this tonight and get an updated help file that has all the help in it. Thanks for reporting this.
