I can't open Help and Support from the Start menu on my Dimension 4500. I have tried reinstalling the Drivers and Utilities, but it still won't open. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
To reinstall Help and Support: Go to C:\Windows\inf\pchealth.inf. Right click and choose install. Have your CD handy.
Note: The folder is hidden by default. Go to Start/Run and type in: control folders. View: Show hidden files and folders and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types
If it doesn't help go to Start/Run and type in: helpctr - regserver
WillyTee...thanks for the help. I must be doing something wrong...when I go to C:\Windows\inf\pchealth.inf, I get the pchealth screen, but when I right click nothing happens! I went to control folders and unchecked the Hide extensions block. Also, nothing happens when I went to helpctr - regserver. Any ideas?
WillyTee...I tied this and it reinstalled msconfig.exe. No problems there but I still do not have any response when I select the "Help and Support" button on the Start menu.
Though it's been awhile, it's a simple fix. After one of the Windows Updates (I'm not sure which one) there is a misplaced file. Merely delete or rename C:\Windows\System32\helpctr.exe and Help and Support will then work
