Did you know? Updated: Monday, 30 January, 2006
As near as I can tell, the Updated date seems to be related to the
Modified
date of
C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Config\News\NewsHeadlines_1033_Professional.xml
(or NewsHeadlines_1033_Personal.xml or NewsHeadlines_1033_Server.xml or
NewsHeadlines_1033_AdvancedServer or NewsHeadlines_1033_DataCenter)
and
C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Config\News\newsver.xml
Seems to be a common problem. At least yours is working, otherwise you'd
see this...
[[When you are connected to the Internet, this area will display links to
timely help and support information. If you want to connect to the
Internet
now, start the New Connection Wizard and see how to establish a Web
connection through an Internet service provider. ]]
This can happen if
C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Config\News\NewsHeadlines_1033_Professional.xml
is missing. Or whatever version for XP that you have is missing.
