Help and Support

[sinbag]

My problem is this I get the following ' Help and Support Error ' Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running. To fix this problem Start the service named Help and Support. Can anyone enlighten me how to do this? Have I switch something off and not realized it? Any help would be welcome. As things are I can't get any help from this...so & so! this computer I mean E machine Windows XP..Thanks.

The Help and Support service can safely be disabled if you don't use Help and Support... To get it started again go to Start, Settings, Control Panel (Switch to Classic View), Administrative Tools, Services. Locate the 'Help and Support' service, right click it and select properties. Change 'Startup Type' to Automatic, click Start then click OK.

I'm back Obonio, did as you suggest and got the following Error126 Services (local) The specified module could not be found. It tried but came up with that, does that make any sence to you? it certainly doesn't to me. this is down to me, I must stop fiddleing with things I dont understand. Thanks for your help any way.

Hi Obonio, Thanks for your help, and I 'm glad to say I have sorted it out, how I got over it was I couldn't get to restore as thats tied up with Help & Support as you know so I took a chance and typed in Restore in 'RUN' in the start menu and up it came so I restored it back to before I started " fiddleing" with it now it's back ok. I'll call on you next time I get in trouble thanks mate.
