Help and Support cannot connect

Hi
I have Vista Business edition. When trying to access Help & Support (blue
question mark in office 2007 programs), I get an error message "Internet
Explorer (7) cannot d/l from the site. IE was not able to open this internet
site. Requested site unavailable or cannot be found"

vista or office 2007 problem?? have another machine with same setup and all
is ok.

suggestions??

Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. Type
"regsvr32 msxml3.dll" (no quotes), and press Enter on your keyboard.

Or, try the fix offered at this site (under "Fix Windows Vista Help and
Support"):

http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/kmk...d-support.aspx

The fix re-associates the .xml file type to its default settings in the
registry. A recent installation of a program may have "stolen" the .xml
association.

Dreamweaver installed, by chance? If so, see the following TechNote from Adobe:

Vista help system stops working when Dreamweaver is the default XML editor:

Are you trying to access help and support from home or from a corporate
network?
