Recently I have had problems with not being able to create restore points.
Matters have now deteriorated and Help and Support doesn't work. Trying to
start it with Task Manager open I see helpctr.exe start as a process but it
then disappears after a few seconds. I've tried the remedy found in these
forums of re-installing from PCHEALTH.INF but that has not cured the problem.

Any ideas please?

I have solved my problem by re-installing Windows XP Pro using the upgrade
option which left all my applications and data intact. I did have to
re-install 33 Windows XP updates though!
