I just installed Windows live mail and messenger software for WinXP on 07-28-2012. When I try to click the help button "?" options, I get no help at all.

IfI click help option "Get help with Mail"  or press F1 button, I see that IE attempts to go to (help.live.com) and then is quickly redirected to (mail.live.com) which asks me to sign into my hotmail account or it lands at my hotmail account page if I'm already signed in. Where's the Help???

If I click the help option "Search the Mail discussion group" I get sent to: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop which gets redirected to: http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/aspx/err.aspx?sloc=en-us&stgxml= which says the service is temporarily unavailable.

If I click on the help option "Read the Mail blog" I get sent to: http://public-api.wordpress.com/wls/redirect.php?alias=morethanmail which says that this windows live space is no longer available.

How or why are all the links for these help options broken or misdirected?

Is there a fix for this problem?

I only found this help forum from searching on Bing for "windows live mail help".
