• "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?

• Cannot open help and Support on Satellite L30

  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?

  Hello

  How about using the System Restore tool?
  If the option help & support has worked a few days ago, so I think he should be able to roll back the BONE until the beginning.
  I think this procedure should help.

  But try to use this path in the immediate window:
  %Windir%\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\HelpCtr.exe
