Search always fails says page does not exist even if I search for google

[Ted Birmingham]

I have loaded all tyhe service packs and reloaded Explorer
6. I had 5. No matter what I do the seacrh always fails.
If I type search for "Microsoft". I get a message Page
does not exist. Search for Google gets an "e" panel
company. I go to yahoo and type any word and the page does
not exist. I tried "kitchen". I can not search now on my
Windows 2000 computer. From any engine or page. I would
like to fix thsi.
