Restore Windows XP System Information

If for some reason your Windows XP system information will not show up, then here's how to fix it:


Remove the .cab files from the Packagestore folder, and then
rebuild the original Help and Support Center:

A. Click Start, click Run, type cmd to open a command prompt. Type the
following commands:
                   
                  net stop helpsvc
                  cd /d C:\Windows\pchealth\helpctr
                  rd packagestore /s /q
                  cd binaries
                  start /w helpsvc /svchost netsvcs /regserver /install

B. Run Taskmgr.exe to launch Task Manager. If any of the following
processes are running, stop them:

                  helpsvc.exe
                  helphost.exe
                  helpctr.exe

C. At the command prompt, type:  net start helpsvc

If the problem remains, perform an In-Place Upgrade. Refer to this MS Support link:
