When I clicked on start-help and support button I get the following 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. So I went to start run typed in Services.msc so i could start the service but help and support was not on the list. What should I do?

Ok so I went to this link... http://windowsxp.mvps.org/helpsvc.htm
and followed the instructions rebooted and help and support is now listed in services, yet when I went to start the service I get this error."could not start the help and support service on the local computer. error 1083: the executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service." I have no idea what that means.

Try this:
Go to Folder Options>View tab,and enable 'Show Hidden files and Folders',then press Apply>Ok.
Go to C:\WINDOWS\inf,  right click pchealth.inf  'Install',have your xp cd handy.

If still no joy,go Here and scroll down to Help and Support,you'll probably find a fix there.
