    Hello

    I have a Pavilion PC with Windows Vista 32 bit OS.  My help and Support feature does not work in offline mode or online. I just installed the 32-bit hotfix for HP Advisor (sp43112) hoping that would resolve the problem. No luck. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    The proposed solution did not help. I found another suggestion (somewhere, I can't find it now) which lead me to the solution of my problem with no function 'help and Support '. The solution was to fix some permissions problems. I downloaded the program monitor and started then tried to access to help and Support one or two times and then closed the monitor program. Then I saved the file as an excel (.csv) file and open it in Excel. I've sorted the file on the column of search results then all files listed with the result of denial of access.

    There were six files "access denied." I opened all the files and hidden folders then went to each file and changed the security settings allowing everyone access to the files. Here is an example of the path I followed to locate the files where access has been denied: C: / > ProgramData > Microsoft > support > customer > 1.0 > US, then the name of one of the files is: Help_MValidator.H1D

    I always try to find the fix someone provied so I can thank this person, any help on this would be appreciated.

    I hope this helps someone, be it finally resolved my problem. BTW, while I was working this issue and try various suggestions, I got a virus and which of course added to my frustration...

    I BOUGHT A SECOND HAND TOWER WITH WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM PREINSTALLED, THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH EACH WEB PAGE OR PROGRAM, WHEN I CLICK ON HELP ON THE TOP OF A PAGE, I GET THE WINDOWS HELP AND SUPPORT WINDOW POP UP. WHEN I TYPE IN A HELP TOPIC AND CLICK SEARCH, I ALWAYS GET A MESSAGE TELLING ME RESEARCH TOPIC NOT FOUND AND BELOW WHAT HE ALWAYS SAYS THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HELP TOPIC I PAT ON THE SEARCH BOX, I STILL HAVE THE SAME MESSAGES

    SOMEONE CAN ME ADVISE ON THIS POINT.

    I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP.

    JOHN ROBERTSON VS

    Hi JohnRobertsonVS,

    Method 1

    Refer to the Microsoft article to download and install Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe), check to see if it helps.

    I can not open Help files that require the Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917607

    Method 2

    Try the method below and see if it helps.

    a. Open a command prompt window and run the following command:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    b. Press ENTER.

    Note: To open a command prompt window, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click run as administrator.

    Method 3

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a corrupt system file search.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

    It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. Laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 320GB hard drive you can use a 500 GB hard drive but not a hard drive of 250 GB.
