Using Windows Help and Support
WINV-7.8.4
When you have a question about how to do something in Windows Vista, you can usually find the answer with a few clicks of your mouse. Microsoft Help and Support (New!) is a resource of information, training, and support to help you learn and use Windows Vista. Help and Support is like a book stored on your computer with additional links to the Internet, complete with a search feature, and a table of contents to make finding information easier. If you have an Internet connection, you can get online help from a support professional at Microsoft or from other users in Windows communities (an electronic forum where people share information), or you can invite a friend to chat with you, view your screen, and work on your computer to provide remote support.
