Windows Help and Support doesn't work.
Since before I removed the conflicter worm, nothing happens when I click on Windows Help and Support. How do I get it back? I have tried clicking on winhlp32.exe and help.exe in the windows folder and neither of these does what the Help and Support used to do from the start menu. Winhlp32.exe allows me to open a selection of help files, but there is no index, like there was with the Help and Support program. Is there some way I can restore it from my original CD, circa 2002. I now have all the updates to SP3. Please help!
