Mac support center

has anyone heard of mac support center? are they legitimate or a scam?

Ivrey,

I've never heard of it. If you have received the notice via a pop up, it's a SCAM.

  • Microsoft has a support center India/Asia calling houses UK?

    Microsoft has a support center India/Asia calling houses UK? or is that what I think a scam.

    In the United Kingdom is flooded with calls from other countries with callers using English names to try to scam people. FACT!
    Microsoft is normally contact people by phone? If I remember never submit my Microsoft phone number.

    It is a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment. See:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

    Microsoft does ever not requested for calls.

  • 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!

  • Select icon workstation: so, 'aid', so: "Help and Support Center" - > does not work.

    When I select "Help and Support Center" with Microsoft, I get the error message: "Windows cannot find helpctr.exe.

    Can I reinstall anything from Application or system recovery disks - or download the Microsoft HELP?  -
    Or can only be re-established by dong RESTORATION?   Thanks for you help... ~!

    Do you mean you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot find 'helpctr.exe.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

    The Center help and Support sometimes get broken with overzealous cleaning and there are a lot of things to 'try' who sometimes work and sometimes they are not. Sometimes people drop everything simply and never reuse Help and Support Center, but it can still be repaired.

    Do you now or nave already used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

    cleaner, mechanic, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. guaranteed or all that has an icon that looks like a key, the key or the screwdriver?

    We will restore some things in the registry who sometimes kill himself by malicious software or, sometimes, these cleaning programs.

    Before making any changes to your registry (although I hope that this update), make a copy of your registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Then go to this page WWW of Riou (thanks, Ramesh).

    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/startmenuhelp.htm

    When you click the file startmenuhelp.reg on this page with your browser, you will see a bunch of text which is information of record that you want to apply to your system.  It seems daunting, but it's not so bad.

    Press Ctrl + A to select all the text, then press Ctrl-C to copy the text to the Windows Clipboard.

    Click Start, run, and then in the box, type:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Press Ctrl + V to paste the information that you copied into the Windows Clipboard in the Notepad file.  Save the new file in Notepad on your desktop and name the new file something he can hold, as:

    startmenuhelp.reg

    Quit Notepad and double click the file startmenuhelp.reg on your desktop and respond in the affirmative to the question about adding information to your registry.

    Test your help and your support now, then restart and test again to make sure that the changes 'stick' with a reboot.

    You can delete the file startmenuhelp.reg to your desktop.

    If that does not do so, you can reinstall the whole (not reinstall XP - just the help and Support Center)

  • The guide to "Help and Support Center" installed for Windows XP Media Center 2004 is largely outdated and must be updated.

    I have version Dell of Windows Media Center 2005 (service pack 3) installed on my XPS 600 desktop computer.  The installed Help and Support Center guide date for use with Windows Media Center 2004 and has never been updated to include most of the changes system over the past six years. Dell or Microsoft should be responsible for the update of the guides or instructions that are installed on the operating system. Not only that, but Media Center and Movie Maker themselves also grossly neglected as updates are concerned.
    The currently installed Help and Support Center guide is missing details on significant changes to Windows applications and utilities.  I rely on up-to-date information to make changes to my OS applications and utilities.  There is a lot of information in this guide that is incomplete and misleading and therefore not very reliable.
    I have an OEM of Windows XP version and I wonder if there is an update of current or replacement for this system guide and who is responsible for the update.

    Nothing in XP will be updated. The current Windows operating system is Windows 7. XP is already three iterations of the windows behind. A great substitute for the XP search feature (which was never very good) is Agent free Ransack.
