Adding additional search providers in Internet Explorer 7

[Christine]

I am trying to add additional search providers ie Google and Yahoo and have
followed the directions...

1) Open Internet Explorer.
2) Click the arrow to the right of the Search Options button .
3) Click Find More Providers.
4) Click the search provider you want to add. The Add Search Provider dialog
box appears. If you want the provider that you just added to be used by
default when searching from the Address bar or search box, select the Make
this my default search provider check box.
5) Click Add Provider.
6) Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each provider you want to add.

When I get to step 4 and click on the one I want out of the list provided a
warning icon and the message Error on Page appear in the lower left corner
and nothing happens after that.

Can anyone help? Please and thanks.
