  • Windows Help and support keeps popping up.

    I have a hp system I used for aroud 2 years. but for these last days, windows help and support keeps popping up. I checked all the keys of the keyboard, tried to reinstall windows, worked well for 2 days, tried safe mode, but the problem doesn't go away. On-screen keyboard in my system shows that the key to the 'window' is pressed permanently, but it is not. Help, please!

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the keyboard?

    2. have you made any changes to the computer?

    3 have you tried the same keyboard on another computer or another keyboard on the HP system to see if the problem occurs?

    Since the question does not appear 2 days after you have reinstalled Windows, it is possible that some changes have caused the problem as recently installed updates.

  • Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.

    I tried all the things in the virus check to clean start windows 7 to recharge. The help and Support windows keeps popping up. Why can not simply disable the "helpane.exe"? I can't delete it as it is. To do this I'll have to get another computer.  I had to put it in my computer to work with the pop up window, I can't do anything else!

    Well, I encountered this problem and I see a lot of people ask this question, but I understood what my question was, maybe this will help you if you are still having the problem or others have the problem.

    The problem I had is that there is not exactly the impression that "Help and Support" said anything, but it was, he told me that he tried to open an unsupported help file (something that we install shows a help when your connection after a restart file).  So basically, if you use an older program that has files of help that are not supported by Windows 7 or Vista, it comes up with a general help and screen Support saying that he could not open the help file, but not telling me that you or give me an idea as using that file has problems.  I worked a little with our software and knew what help file was being pulled up, I have therefore been able to stop it, but I suggest to check the help files for your software to see which ones that might not work.

    Also let me tell you right now, I'm not an expert on how to do things on the computer, so I'm scitish when it receives or sounds complicated. I don't want to lose my entire system because of these unfortenate none of the work programmes.

    Hello shessy49, welcome.

    I would recommend that we run a SFC (System File Checker) first scan to see what he finds. Try this:

    1. click on START
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    5 restart your computer

    ---
    After the reboot
    ---

    1. click on START
    2. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    3. type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and press enter

    If the question started very recently, you can try a system restore:

    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."

    6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

    Let us know what happens

    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
