When I click links like "related articles" in help and support center,an error message pops up"cannot display page".Also XOX appears in place of certain words on page articles. I think this happened after installing SP2. I've searched microsoft
support pages and found nothing. I rarely
use helpctr so it's not a huge problem,it's just annoying that I can't fix it.
Any suggestions?

vwjan, SWAG, sounds like it might be the result of infection by some sort of nasty. Think I'd try an AV scan, trojan scan, maybe even disable restore and do the scans. Puzzled. Never heard of such a critter.
HTH.
