Can't Search

[Larry Newton]

I've run into some problem that does not allow me to search my computer.
When I go to Start>Search> all I get is a screen with a little dog search
assistant. There is no form to fill out to help me search for files. How
do I repair this?

Click Start, Run and type:

regsvr32 /i C:\Windows\Srchasst\srchui.dll
regsvr32 jscript
regsvr32 vbscript

If that does not help:
1. Log on to the computer by using an account with administrator
permissions.
2. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%\inf, and then click OK.
3. Locate the Srchasst.inf file.
4. Right-click the Srchasst.inf file, and then click Install. This
reinstalls the files that Search Companion uses.
