  Hi Trulsbi,
  What type of connection do you have?
  You use a router? If you do, how do you connect? USB, ethernet or wireless?

  This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

  • There is a problem with the firmware for your base station.
  • IEEE 802. 1 X authentication is enabled.
  • Your adapter (USB) wireless universal serial bus problems that are related to the USB bus.
  • Your Internet is a DSL connection that uses a Point to support the Ethernet (PPPoE) authentication.

  I know you don't actually lose your connection, but move to make changes to the settings recommended on the article and see if it helps. If it is not the case, change it back to the original settings.

  Here is the complete article, please measures and additional information

• Cannot load help and Support Windows as file registery HELPCTR. EXE is missing how restore?

  Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths is missing HELPCTR. EXE.  Want to know how to reinstall HELPCTR. EXE.

  First see if it works:

  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 that
  is the registry information 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 notebook
  file on your desktop and the name of the new file something he can hold, as:

  startmenuhelp.reg

  Quit Notepad and double click the file startmenuhelp.reg on your desktop and answer Yes to
  the query 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 it, we just reinstalled the whole shebang (help) and Support.

• Help and support service in services.msc

  When I try and open help and Support under XP, I get an error telling me that I need to start the help and Support service. When I go into services.msc to do this, the help and Support service is not listed

  A service help and Support missing does not fit the symptoms of a corrupt user profile.  Aid and the Support Service is at the system level and does not belong to a particular user, and if you think that your user profile is damaged, you better not delete unless you want to lose all the things belonging to the user that you delete.   This isn't a good way to manage a corrupted user profile or suspicious - unless you want that users angry!
  Have you ever used third-party applications on your system where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:
  cleaner, mechanic, detective, priest, optimize, clean up, tune up, speed up, set towards the top, compact, compress, faster, power, boost booster, guaranteed.
  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.
  We can reinstall the missing help and Service support in two ways, let's start with the less complicated:
  Using Windows Explorer, find and locate c:\windows\inf\pchealth.inf.  This is the file for installation help and Support information.
  Right-click on the pchealth.inf file and choose install.
  You may be prompted to enter your XP installation CD as he seeks the installation files.  The files are on your XP installation CD, or, if you don't have any XP installation CD, files will already be on your system from the initial installation (if help and Support was working before) - you just tell the installation where to get them.
  You can locate the files on your system before you begin the installation, so that you know where to say look when he needs a file of installation.
  If you don't have an XP installation CD, change the dialog ' copy the file of ' (by clicking the browse and try again) to point to the folder appropriate for each file.  Usually, the files in these folders.
  dataspec. XML (c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386)
  pchdt_w3.cab (c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries)
  HCAppRes.dll (c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries)
  atrace.dll (c:\windows\system32)
  If these files are not in the same place on your system, you need to do a search for Windows on your system for the file you need and point the installation in the folder appropriate for your system.
  Reboot your system to make sure that the installation is complete and check in Services now to see the status of the assistance Service.
  If the service help and Support does not work, right click, start it and then make sure that the properties are set to auto, reboot again and remember that it starts on its own.
  If for some reason that gets your help and your support Service installed (perhaps you do not find the files) you can follow the other instructions of Riou:
  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Helpsvc.htm

  Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  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.

  I get a message saying windows cannot open help and support because a system service is not running to correct this problem start the service named in Help and support. I can't find it in services.msc is there another way to activate this service.

  To resolve this issue, start the Help and Support Center service and set it to automatic. Follow these steps:

  Click Start, run and type Services.msc

  Double click Help and support

  Set the startup type to automatic

  Start the Service

  If the help and support service is missing from the Services.msc list, it is perhaps because of the accidental deletion of a registry key. Download the file helpsvc.zip and unzip the content. Retrieved from helpsvc.reg on the desktop and double-click on it to merge the contents to the registry. This restores the entrance of the help and Support service.

• by turning on the computer a help and support update runs, but will not be finished

  I start my computer and help and support update starts but usually ends it starts before im connected to my wireless and I'm going to the task management to stop the task if I can get online and connect, when I try to update, it is said there is no update needed.what can do to stop this Thank you

  Go to start / search box and type msconfig and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Go to the Startup tab and see if you can find that help and support update program which are listed there.  If so, uncheck the box next to it, so it will not load at startup, click OK, and exit.  Then reboot and see if that solves the problem (but you won't update whenever it came from).  If this does not work, go to start / Control Panel / Administrative tasks / Task scheduler and see if the help and support update is listed here - if so, delete it and will try it is no longer to load at startup (but you have lost the update whenever it came of).

  If this does not work, please transfer your question in Forum Windows Update: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads people who specialize in Windows Update issues (and I guess it's an update of Windows we're talking - you were not accurate in your message) will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  If you have the update name and KB number, it would help and you should include it in your message there.

  I hope this helps.

• Help and Support does not work as you wish

  Original title: Help and Support Center

  I'm finding that doing a search using Help and Support Center search box, looking for is more responses on the microsoft site, as it has already done. This aid was dropped for Microsoftxp home version 2002 service pack 3 , or is there a problem that I don't know about my system? Any help or information would be appreciated.

  For those who have experienced this problem

  I note that all solutions have been validated, IE

  1 re - install & support.

  2. run SFC/scannow,

  3. create a new user profile by means of microsoft suggeted,

  "Are not, (I repeat, not) work to solve this problem.»

  The only solution I've found that works is to

  1 create a new user

  2. move ( NOT copy) all of your files and folders in My Documents,my music, my pictures, and my videos folders of your damageduser profile for the new user profile in place corresponding installs under this new profile.

  3. do not copy or move hidden files or folders that you do not have created and hidden from yourself.

  4. you must also ensure you save settings, emails and contacts (contacts already in the .pst in Outlook file) by using the appropriate method for your e-mail program to allow for the recovery of these in your new profile.

  5. you can export your Favorites RSS (and biscuits)Internet Explorer under your old profile to a file in your new profile, and then import them from your new profile, after that you run Internet Explorer from here.

  6. don't worry about the programs, they are available to all users.

  I hope this can help someone else, who had the same problem I did.

• When I click on the link while using help and Support in Windows XP, I get an error message saying "page is not available" also a filled red circle crossed out

  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:

  Regsvr32.exe hhctrl.ocx

  Press ENTER
