How can I get my Help and Support Center works again?
I just briefly see the hourglass but nothing opens. I noticed that I also have problems to access the help files in another one of my programs if it means something. Running XP SP3.
I checked and it is in the registry and set to automatic.
You don't need to start the RPC Locator.
I do not quite follow or understand why the pchealth.inf file isn't in the c:\windows\inf folder.
I looked at my pchealth.inf with a text editor and there a lot of things in it and I found an IEM and 0409 folder, but is not to be the pchealth.inf file.
When you open Explorer and look at the c:\windows\inf folder, there should be LOTS of files in there. If you don't see them, you need to adjust your tools for the Explorer. Folder Options, display, advanced settings for allow:
Display the hidden files and folders
and uncheck the box for
Hide extensions of known file types
Then you should see a lot of INF files in the folder c:\windows\inf (check the part even once). Unless they all had somehow kill him!
Hmmm... Maybe someone else will have some ideas.
Instructions are KBJose! But those who are old enough so I'll have to look again and make sure that they are still of the senses (to someone other than me).

How can I turn on help and support in windows xp?
After I got a virus and I installed avg virus program to help eliminate the vuris that I wasn't able to go in Help and support. I get a message telling me to activate the program, but he didn't tell me how or where.
"Help and Support" is a Service that runs under Windows XP. To enable it, go to the Services Panel:
Start-> Run-> "services.msc".
When the window opens, look for the line "Help and Support" and double-click it.
In the next window that appears, make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" and the "Service status" is "started." Otherwise, click on the 'Start' button and/or set the Startup Type to automatic. OK your way out.HTH,

How can I get a helper.exe file that works so I can uninstall Firefox?
I'm trying to uninstall Firefox. The uninstall in Control Panel feature does nothing. The file helper.exe in uninstalling Firefox folder does nothing, even when I "run as administrator".
Try to start Windows Explorer as an administrator by right clicking on its icon. Go to these folders and right click on them. Click on properties and under "Permissions", make sure that all the permissions are checked in read/write. If Windows does not allow them to help, start Windows in Mode safe.
Start Windows in Mode safe can prevent your computer to run any malware or tool that may block certain administrative actions such as deleting a file, editing a file system, uninstall a program, etc.
To start Windows in Mode safe mode in Windows XP, Vista or 7, press F8 during the restart until a menu appears, and then choose Safe Mode. Windows 8, you start msconfig (Windows + R), go to the Boot and mark 'start safe mode '. Restart your computer and Windows 8 will run safe mode.
Once Safe Mode try to perform the action you were trying to do and check if it works now.
You must remove the following folders, as appropriate:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\ProgramData\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\ProgramData\Mozilla
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Mozilla
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla
- C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla Firefox
Also clean your temporary and garbage files with Windows built-in hard drive cleaner or alternatives such as CCleaner or TuneUP utilities.

How can I get Outlook 2003 and 2007, to leave a copy of message on the server?
How can I get Outlook 2003 and 2007, to leave a copy of message on the server? I use Outlook 2003 and it keeps pulling messages out of my email account, I want at least a copy to be left there so that I can access it from anywhere and not just a computer. Thank you.
Also, I use Microsoft exchange server 2007, and this is the account where I would like a copy of stay so that emails are there when I try to access remotely and when I accidentally leave Outlook / my computer on.
-Ross
Hi Ross WA,
The concept behind Exchange is an inbox synchronized on all devices (computers, phones, PDA...) and you do not allow to leave messages on the server when it is in an Exchange environment. For more information on leave messages on a mail server, you can visit the following link:Microsoft Answers provides no support for Microsoft Exchange, even if you can post a question in the TechNet Forums here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclients/threadsI also recommend to contact who manages your Exchange Server as they know your specific Exchange Setup better.I hope this information helps and thank you for using Microsoft Answers!Cody C
