If you've run Toni Arts Easy Cleaner on your XP installation, and allowed it to delete what it found in the registry, then your Help and Support will not run. Easy Cleaner deletes the values of 2 necessary Registry keys. See my web site, www.dougknox.com and go to the Windows XP Utilities section. Follow the appropriate link for Fix Window XP Help. This small VB app will repair the damage done by Easy Cleaner. Note: other Registry cleaning programs cause the same problem.
If that doesn't solve it, visit www.kellys-korner-xp.com/top10faqs.htm and click the question mark icon beside Why doesn't help and support work?
