I understand that the "Help and Support" service is set to "Automatic".
But
does the status say "Running" instead of "Stopped"?

When I try to access Help and Support I get the following message:(
Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not
running. To fix this problem, start the service named Help and Support.)

I have typed in Run:services.msc, and found Help and Support set on
automatic.
I have tried a number of reg edits from the Registry XP tweaks site,
but
nothing seems to help.
Would it help if I re-installed Service Pack 2, and if I did would I
lose
any of my programs?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


No, it is stopped, but when I attempt to start it I get an error message:
"Could not start the help and service support on this computer.
Error:1083
The excitable program that this services configured to run does not
implement the service.



Tried this and though it now is started, after re-starting computer I still cannot access help and support, When I click on it nothing happens
.
