    When I go into event vwr I don't get any info when the window for Help and Support comes up (after I click on http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Example:

    Event Type: Error
    Event Source: Service Control Manager
    Event Category: None
    Event ID: 7023
    Date: 3/16/2009
    Time: 4:40:19 PM
    User: N/A
    Computer: TRIXIE
    Description:
    The Application Management service terminated with the following error:
    The system cannot find the file specified.

    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I can go to Help and Support from start menu and put in a search term like shutdown and get a list of links to look thru.

    I can go to the website http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp by copy and paste in I.E. but not directly thru event vwr.

    How can I fix this?

    You need to let C:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\helphost.exe access through your firewall.

    I have helphost.exe allowed in firewall. I have not changed this setting, and it did work previously. I don't know why not now.
