whenever i tries to run the help and support tab or system information through programs>assessaries>system tools> or throug the run tab by typing msconfig,it says "Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not runnung
To fix this problem,start the service "Help and support" showing Help and support error"

You help and support service might be stopped or disables. You can start it by
start->control pannel->administrative tools->services and check for the related sevice is it running or disabled. if disabled the right click on it, go to properties and enable it from there.

or you might have installed xp form a customized cd which the shopkeepers make to minimise the time/size of installation. (pirate ones)

download this files - extract it run it

Start->Run->Services.msc (type it)
Find the Help and Support key. Double click it and set it to Manual/Automatic
