    Simple enough.


    Ihave been through 5 pc's in my home i have had 100's of problems with them all and never has windows help actually helped me with a single problem.


    So has anyone here ever found windows help?

    Never used the windows help but the Office help is much improved. Theres so many damn features now that I need to look up the help to find out where everything is!
