How to get windows help & support on my PC

Is no longer, I can get windows help & support on my PC.  I know not what happened, one day it's simply not there.  Can you help me get it back?

Hi Celine,.

This problem may occur if you try to use help in a program that uses a component to help older, WinHlp32.exe to display Help content. Because Windows Vista and later versions of Windows include no WinHlp32.exe, you must install this component to open the .hlp files that were created in the older help content.

I suggest you to refer to the help article and check if it helps.

I can't open the help that was created in Windows Help format (WinHlp32.exe)

    Hi brephosa8701,

    Unfortunately the nc6220 doesn't have Windows 7 drivers on the HP.com website, I suggest that you try to use Windows Vista drivers and see if that can solve some problems for you.

    I read your post on how you're looking to load Windows 8 on your laptop, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

    How to get windows 7 Professional operating system software for existing key

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
