When I access the Help and Support Center through the Start menu in
Windows XP, the bottom right hand portion of the window where it says
"Did you know?" I get a message that says:
"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."
even though I'm connected through a broadband connection.
I found the following "work-around" but the link to the example is dead
and I don't consider myself proficient enough to trust my merged file.
Here's the work-around:
Download newsblock1.xml and newsblock2.xml using a download manager.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/shared/hscheadlines/pro/newsblock01.xml
http://support.microsoft.com/support/worldwide/en-us/headlines/newsblock02.xml
Open newsblock1.xml with Notepad
Open newsblock2.xml with Notepad
Merge both the files (leaving out the redundant NEWSHEADLINES tags) and
save as the following:
"NewsHeadlines_1033_Professional.xml"
Format of the NewsHeadlines_1033_Professional.xml file:
Example: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/temp/mergedxml.txt
Place this file in this location:
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Config\News
Does anybody know what the merged file should look like and if it works
to solve my problem?
