our new toshiba laptop came pre installed with windows xp inc service pack 2.
when i try to use the help and support centre nothing happens. i had a look
at KB and found something about DEP. followed the instructions but this did
not make a difference.

Click Start then select Run and type in:
helpctr -regserver
regsvr32 itss
regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx
regsvr32 jscript
Press OK after each one
