Lost my search companion

[Joe]

I downloaded Google Toolbar and my search companion
dissappeared. I removed the new software but now I cannot
get my search companion back. I tried help and it says to
press F3 but I still cannot get it back. Please help

Try using System Restore to take you back to a time prior to when you had
this issue. Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

Hi Joe,

Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, set it to "Show hidden
files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files
[recommended]". Also uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

Then, open Windows Explorer from Start/All Programs and go to the
C:\Windows\Inf folder. Locate the srchasst.inf file, right-click it and
choose install.

You may need to either insert your WinXP CD or know where your I386 folder
is located on the hard drive. You may also need to know where the
\ServicePackFiles folder is (usually under the Windows directory).
