I cannot open Help and Support in Windows XP Pro SP1.
I Googled and got some decent advice given to others, namely that this
may be due to corrupt registry entries after running Toni Arts
EasyCleaner, but nothing I have tried works. To avoid duplication me
clarify:
1. I have tried Dough Knox's VB script 'Fix for Windows XP Help', which
is supposed to correct the damage caused by EasyCleaner.
2. I tried the sfc /scannow method suggested by Michael Solomon that
searches for missing or corrupt Windows files.
3. I tried another method reported by Doug Knox: Open a cmd window, type
"cd %windir%\pchealth\helpctr\binaries" (without quotes) <enter>, type
"start /w helpsvc /install" <enter>
4. Finally, I tried a system restore to no avail, but it may be that I
ran Toni Arts EasyCleaner more than two months ago and for some reason
my restore points only go back a month and a half.
I have now received my CD copy of SP2; would updating to SP2 remedy this
problem?
Any advice appreciated.
