| Make sure first the 'Help and Support' service is indeed 'started',and is set to 'Automatic'. Click on Start>Run and type Services.msc then hit Ok.
Scroll down and find the service called 'Help and Support'
When you find it, double-click on it.
In the next window that opens, click the Start(If it's not already started) button, then change the Startup Type to Automatic(If not set to Automatic).
Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows. Reboot. =========================================== Did you try these: Copy and paste the following bold green text in between the lines only, into Notepad,click on File(in the menu at the top)>Save as..Save as Type: 'All Files (*.*)' File name: fix.bat to your desktop.Then click on the fix.bat file on your desktop to run it,click Ok three times. Reboot. .................................................................................
cd %SystemRoot%\system32
regsvr32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\jscript.dll
regsvr32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\vbscript.dll
regsvr32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\mshtml.dll
.................................................................................. 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.

| Had the same frustrating problem. Got the Error 1083 after using the fix.bat. Ran across this page. http://windowsxp.mvps.org/rebuildhelp.htm
Using the same procedure as the fix.bat I made a help.bat of the following.
net stop helpsvc
cd /d %windir%\pchealth\helpctr
rd packagestore /s /q
rd installedskus /s /q
cd binaries
start /w helpsvc /svchost netsvcs /regserver /install
start /w helpsvc /register
Copied and pasted into notepad and named it help.bat. Ran it from the desktop and wahlaa! Help and Support is BACK. I had about given up when I made the help.bat. This was the last thing I did before getting the Help and Support back so I'm assuming this did the trick.
Slowly, gluing hair back on head after pulling most of it out.
I can only hope this helps somebody else. |
