Check in Add or Remove Programs (MS Windows->Control panel) if you have maya documentation installed. If not install it once again! After that check your external firewall setting. If you have something like that. Maybe something blocks maya documentation server. And check if your documentation server running properly!

Use 4 on keyboard for wireframe view, 5 for shaded view.

But settle HELP problem first. If not, buy some books. Because you ask very simple questions! Nobody won't to spend there time for teaching you. You have to do it by yourself.
So, good luck!
