The Windows Search function doesn't work

[Guest Wallace]

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?

No content in the search menu.

 

Click Start, Run and type:

 

regsvr32 %Windir%\srchasst\srchui.dll

regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 /i urlmon.dll

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

register the following three command one by one

 

start->run and type the following

 

regsvr32 wshom.ocx

regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 urlmon.dll

 

If fails

 

start->run->sfc /scannow and then press enter

 

it may prompt you for windows xp disk
