Great question... I have trouble with the same thing. (See my most recent question about screwing up on the job)
Aside from the fact that people may be too busy, too incompetent, or just not compassionate enough to help, it may be that they jsut want to stay the hell out of the task/situation. Some tasks are such hot button and sensitive issues that someone is afraid to step up and advice you for fear of inadvertantly being a fall guy for any failures. In my job I am employed as a kind of problem solver and project manager and report only to the CEO and have no subordinates. I get handed the crap that nobody else wants to deal with basically. Since I have to coordinate with at least a few people for each task/project/issue.... people start to get pretty scared, knowing what the project is, or simply the fact that I'm calling. It sucks.
So, my advice is this.... come up with a solution on your own using your best judgement, then hold a meeting with your boss to discuss it. If your boss catches your mistakes, that should be ok... you might lose some credibility in the short run... but you can later show that you learned from the mistakes and maybe improved on the current process. I would also avoid telling your boss that nobody will help you... sounds kind of childish.

Seek help from your superiors.
