- Help and Support System Services
- Posted by facil on January 17th, 2006
I was attempting to utilise the help and support function of Windows Xp, but
it claimed that it needs to be turned on. I could not figure out how to turn
it on, or even where to turn it on. Could someone please help me with this?

services.msc
then scroll down the to the Help and Support Service - right click on it and
then select Start.

Hi
If that Service isn't listed, then you will have to try a 'Repair' install
of XP.
