search

I am unable to do a search for files on my computer. I
click on start, search and it doesn't open the search
screen. It acts as if it is trying to do something,
because I get the egg timer if I mouse over any other
options or I get nothing if I click on another program.
Any ideas?

Click Start, Run, then type in: regsvr32 /i browseui.dll
Press Enter
Then type in: regsvr32 /i shell32
Press Enter

If the above fails to fix the problem, then consider the following links for
