Guest Wallace Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Bit of a weird one thisone.... When I go in to the Windows Search function I expect to be able to enter my search criteria. However, I don't get any boxes to enter my search criteria, only the Windows pet, which doesn't do anything when I click on it. Also the Edit pulldown menu exists but you don't get any menu appearing when you click on it! Any idea why this might be and what I might do to rectify it?

Click Start, Run and type: regsvr32 %Windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll regsvr32 jscript.dll regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll (From a post by Ramesh) -- Joe =o)
Guest Muzafar Ganie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 RE: The Windows Search function doesn't work Hi Wallace Try the following steps 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. regsvr32 wshom.ocx regsvr32 jscript.dll regsvr32 urlmon.dll if fails perform the sfc /scannow Muzafar
