    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

    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.

  • In XP, when you try to click on Help and Support Center, the message to start the service

    Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit - my help and support center is missing. When I click, it says start the service named 'help and Support '. How do I do that?

    * original title - lack of help and Support Center *.

    Thanks for the help :) Also, when I open my computer or any other program like the trash, the bar on the left side of the screen with the options (i.e., in the trash, which allows me to empty the tray) isn't here... Is there anyway that I can get it? I thought it was something to do with the help and support center, but even after that I got help and assistance, that sidebar is not there...

    For this bar, open desktop (or any other folder). Go to tools-> Folder Options and in the general tab, check the show common tasks in the option box of records under the tasks column. The bar appears.

    I hope that helps!

    Hi Aditya,

    This could be caused by the virus or corrupted system files on the computer.

    Follow the following troubleshooting methods:

    Method 1:

    Download Microsoft Safety Scanner, then scan your computer for viruses and malware then check how it works.

    You can download Microsoft Safety Scanner from the link "scan to Microsoft Security.

    Note:  The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. All data that are infected must be cleaned only by deleting all of the data, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2:

    Run System File Check to fix the corrupted system files and then check how it works.

    See the link "How to use the file system tool Checker to troubleshoot system missing or damaged files on Windows Vista or Windows 7" to run the System File Check.

    Note: It can ask the Windows DVD difficulty and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    If the problem persists, please answer. We would be happy to help you.
