This happened 2 days ago and I got frustrated and simply formatted and reinstalled. Now today on this clean install I'm having the same issue!

I've run numerous hardware test and have determined my hardware is not at fault, I need help guys. How can I fix this what could have caused this?

I have all released updates installed (through built-in windows update) latest drivers for mobo/video/sound/network/etc...

I ran a sfc /scannow and that came back clean, did a check disk and it says it fixed some file system problems but nothing changed with regards to my problem.

System Specs:

Vista 64
A64 4600+
2GB DDR800
250GB Seagate SATA 3.0
Geforce 8800GTX
Using onboard nic card/sound.

Hi Jort84,

Welcome to the Vistax64.com forum.

This tutorial will show you how to fix the "Help and Support". Look at the solution for, "The Windows Help (WinHlp32.exe) program is no longer included in Windows".
