• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

  I have a new Satellite L30, but can't access MS Help and support on the start menu. He did something in that hard drive active and so on but no help and support screen comes up. I'm sure it was there a few days of ideas?

  How about using the System Restore tool?

  Found that I had the same problem here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555472

  "To solve the problem, follow these steps:
   
  Go to the Windows registry.
  Navigate to the following registry key:
   
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths
   
  -Double-click HELPCTR. EXE.
  Right-click (default) in the right pane, and then click on edit.
   
  Type the following command:
   
  C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpCtr.exe
   
  Click OK.
  Exit the registry editor and restart Windows XP".

  what I did export this key to work windows XP install and import the reg file for windows failure or you can manually create the key and send it to point to the location of the file if the file is missing then copies the file u do not know if the file differs from the House of Pro but its another option to take if U'r is still stuck.
  Sort my prob was the corruption in the reg for missing file that the hotfix may not work as such. If U still have the problem (cause the post is old) so good luck

  Hello

  Strange, but I've studied a bit on the net and found the very interesting site:

• Cannot load help and Support Windows as file registery HELPCTR. EXE is missing how restore?

  Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths is missing HELPCTR. EXE.  Want to know how to reinstall HELPCTR. EXE.

  First see if it works:

  The Center help and Support sometimes get broken with overzealous cleaning and there are a lot of things to 'try' who sometimes work and sometimes they are not. Sometimes people drop everything simply and never reuse Help and Support Center, but it can still be repaired.

  Do you now or nave already used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

  cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. guaranteed or all that has an icon that looks like a key, the key or the screwdriver?

  We will restore some things in the registry who sometimes kill himself by malicious software or, sometimes, these cleaning programs.

  Before making any changes to your registry (although I hope that this update), make a copy of your registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  Then go to this page WWW of Riou (thanks, Ramesh).

  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/startmenuhelp.htm

  When you click the file startmenuhelp.reg on this page with your browser, you will see a bunch of text that
  is the registry information that you want to apply to your system.  It seems daunting, but it's not so bad.

  Press Ctrl + A to select all the text, then press Ctrl-C to copy the text to the Windows Clipboard.

  Click Start, run, and then in the box, type:

  notebook

  Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

  Press Ctrl + V to paste the information that you copied into the Windows Clipboard in the Notepad file.  Save the new notebook
  file on your desktop and the name of the new file something he can hold, as:

  startmenuhelp.reg

  Quit Notepad and double click the file startmenuhelp.reg on your desktop and answer Yes to
  the query about adding information to your registry.

  Test your help and your support now, then restart and test again to make sure that the changes 'stick' with a reboot.

  You can delete the file startmenuhelp.reg to your desktop.

  If that does not do it, we just reinstalled the whole shebang (help) and Support.

• Help and Support service will not start

  Nice day

  I use Windows XP Professional on my laptop HP DV9000.

  When I try to open the help and support service, I get a message saying "Windows cannot open help and support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. To resolve this problem, start the service named 'help and Support." »

  I searched many websites for more information about this problem without success.

  I tried to locate the program itself and once again without success.

  I did nothing to my laptop in some time (months) and have installed SP3.

  I tried to follow the instructions in my research, I hope, it's enough to find help here.

  Check here: Control Panel, tools, Services, administration, scroll down to: help and Support, and then double-click to open the page.

  Startup type: automatic

  The service status: click Start, click OK

• How to turn on help and support

  How can I turn on help and support, Windows XP

  You see a message like this:

  Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement.
  To resolve this problem, start the service named 'help and Support '.

  With the help and support in the past and it he used to work, what do you think might have changes on your system since the last time it worked correctly?

  Have you ever used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

  cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, clean, repair, tune up, speed up, compact, compress, faster, power, boost booster, guaranteed.

  Look in the Services applet and check to make sure the help and Support Service is listed, set to automatic startup type and has a status of started (it should start on its own if it is needed and not already running).

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  services.msc

  Click OK to launch the Services Applet and find help and assistance.

  Highlight the help and assistance, right-click, choose Properties, and set the startup type to "Automatic", click OK to save the changes.

  Make a right-click Help and support again and choose 'Start' and the Status column must pass to "started."

  If that all works, see if you can get help and Support now.

  If this does not work, describe as much as you can what happened.
