Links don't go anywhere

In the Help and Support windows (topics, whatever) colored words, e.g., 'related topics' and/or colored words embedded in the discussion do not link to anything. When clicked, an new little icon is simple added to one of the paragraphs, such as Notes. If clicked again, another wee icon is added after the previous one. What does this mean. Are the links supposed to link to something. I thought it was perhaps because I was not on-line, but that isn't the case. On-line, off-line, same result. Any help out there?

Hi Mate,
Too many questions, so few answers !
1/ >coloured words embedded in the discussion do not link to anything.
What should appear is a short paragraph at the same place expanding those
coloured words.
Like looking up a word in a dictionary,getting more meaning.
2/ The rest is confusing to me sorry to say.
I presume that when you type a help topic request into the box at the top
left area, it takes you to the box with suggested results, the number
dependant on the question itself.
Clicking on an result should display a topic(meaning words), to the right
side of the screen.
Down the bottom may be coloured 'Related Topics', if there are any to have.
Click on that, and sub topic(s) words appear.
Click on that, and so on, Topic's can refer to each other of course.
Then there is the Index, and that follows the same logic.
Rob.
 
I know exactly what you mean, I had the same problem
awhile back. If I understand you right when you go into
the help and support you type in whatever...you try to
click onto a note and another note appears , you click on
it again and you get another note, and on and on, right???
Well I think what I did was as follows
Click Start, click run, type in services.msc
a local services box appears,scroll down to help and
support and make sure it is enabled or running. If it
isn't you have to enable it, press okay and reboot. Hope
this helps.
