Help and Support "self launches"

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Every time I start my laptop after about 15 minutes a "Help and Support
Center" window opens with a message "Cannot Display the Page, please select
another page to display" or something like that.

This behavior started after I installed a recent Windows Update.

Can anyone tell me what is going on and/or how to stop it, short of a
reinstall.

TIA
