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.

Select 'Properties'. .  Look to see if the service is running and if this is not the case, click on the button to start the service.

  • 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.

    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).

    "To solve the problem, follow these steps:
     
    Go to the Windows registry.
    Navigate to the following registry key:

    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

    ·         You have installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 on the computer?

    ·         You are able to browse normally in internet explore?

    This occurs if the Microsoft HTML Help control is blocked (probably by a Microsoft Update) by defining a "Kill bit" in the registry. To resolve the problem, upgrade to Service Pack 3 , which publishes an updated version of the hhctrl.ocx control.

    If this doesn't help, run the following command from start, run dialog box:

  • How can I turn off activate a copy of Windows 7?

    I would turn off a copy of Windows 7. One of my laptops was stolen, but I still have the discs, I would like to sell. Stolen system was 32-bit and all my other computers are 64-bit, so the disc is of no use more for me.

    Before I sell it, I would like to disable the copy so that there is no running around for the new owner.

    I see lots of advice here on the process of activation, but nothing about disabling a copy. It seems I have the phone activation Support Center, but their number does not seem to be available when you use a copy of Windows that is not yet activated. How can I find this phone number if my other computers all have active copies of Windows? (IE. I can't use slui.exe solution, for example, because it tells me that my copy is active and real).
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    There is no way to disable remote. The best you can do is explain to the buyer that he was already in use and they should use for phone activation reactivate. When it is re-enabled, it will automatically deactivate the other installation. Unfortunately, if the person who stole it retrieves the key, they can easily reactivate too.
