Have you run an anti vrus scan and an anti spyware scan?

Yes I ran virus and anti spyware scans. I am having trouble loading Norton
System Works 2005 edition, could that have anything to do with it?

Lou,

For the Help and Support Center problem, see if these commands help, from
Start, Run dialog:

helpctr -regserver
regsvr32 itss
regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 jscript

Ramesh, you rule! I have been working on this problem for three weeks and
finally stumbled on to your comments.. They did the job. By the way one
other program that didn't work also came back to life, the system/restore.
One techie guy told me the only way to fix this was to reformat my hard
drive. I said "No way!"

Good job
many thanks

Jim S

Thank a lot Ramesh. I've been wrestling with is one all day on one of my PCs.
The regsvr32 itss command seems to have brought my Help & Support Center
screen back.

I tried these, as I am also having a lot of problems with the Help and
Support Center, and "helpctr -regserver" does not work. It can't find such a
program. Now what?
