Sometime over the past few weeks, my "Search" function
stopped working. I would go to "Start", "Search", select
what and where to search, type in a word to search for,
hit "search", and nothing would happen. However, a
dialog box does pop up with says nothing but contains a
button that I can click that says OK. No search occurs.
Any ideas?
 
Al,

Click Start, Run and type REGSVR32 /i SHELL32
Restart Windows. If that does not help, see:
