Missing/corrupt "System32.exe"

[Jeff]

The search feature no longer works in m Windows XP. As
soon as I try to search for a file, a dialog box from
Windows Explorer says it has encountered a problem and
needs to close. After I say no to reporting the problem,
another dialog box pops up and says Windows cannot find
C:/windows/system32/system32.exe. My E-machines computer
did not provide the Windows system disks. I only have CDs
that require a complete hard drive reformat and reinstall.
I don't want to do that! Any way to get a copy of
"System32.exe", or any other solution to my problem?
