View Full Version : HELP INDEX BROKEN KELLYSKORNER DOESN'T FIX

Help & Support WILL open but all that appears in the index box is a small
image icon in the upper left corner. I've wasted many hours trying to get a
fundamental part of XP to work. I've tried several of the "Kellys-Korner"
alleged fixes and none of them work!!
I used Win 98' for years with few problems. Then I stuck with an ME machine
and I thought that sucked but XP really takes the cake!
It's no surprise that Dell has reduced their software support from 90 to 30
days. WINDOWS XP IS TRULY A MISERABLE OPERATING SYSTEM!!!!

Another whiner. When will you people learn that most errors such as this are
BCAK?! It's nothing to do with Windows or MS. If you really *MUST* blame a
3rd-party, blame Dell.

John, I just copied this message from a different XP newsgroup. Might
be worth a shot.

When I am in Windows Explorer & click help, Help & Support
Center is listed but no Contents & Index. I have a HP
Pavillion 7935. Any sugestions.
