Start->"Help and Support" doesn't work anymore

S

Susan Rice

When I go to Start -> Help and Support, the Help and Support Center
window comes up, but whenever I do a search in that window, I never get
any results. The left side says, "Search Results Tips" and the right
side says, "Browse the search results", but there never are any search
results. Placing the mouse pointer in the left side and it turns to an
hour glass. But no search results ever appear.

It used to work...
Not sure what I did to break it...

No content in the search menu.

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 %Windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll

There are also other things to try here:
