Reinstall the Search Companion Files:
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.
NOTE: You may need your Windows XP CD-ROM to finish installing Search Companion.
