Search files disabled

[Guest Richard K Mahan]

I can no longer do a file search from the start menu.

the search window that opens looks different and not operational.

H Richard K Mahan,

Follow the following steps

 

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

 

if that does not fix the issue try the following

 

1/ Click the Start button

 

2/ From the Start menu click Run

 

3/ In the Run dialogue box type: regsvr32 jscript.dll and click OK

 

4/ Click OK again

 

5/ Follow steps 1 , 2 and 3 again to register the following files

 

 

// vbscript.dll

// urlmon.dll

search the file under c:\windows\inf not system32

 

reinstall search

 

open the command prompt,copy and paste in

 

start->run->inf(it will automatically open the inf folder)

 

press enter

 

Locate the Srchasst.inf file. Right-click the Srchasst.inf file, and then

click Install.

 

 

if fails

 

try sfc /scannow

 

 

->start->rum->cmd- ok

 

type sfc /scannow and press enter
