Search Function earl 6/3/2007 1:15:00 AM When I click on Search nothing happens. Also the System Restore will not advance beyond the first function block. I think the problems are related. Any suggestions for a cure.

Hello Earl, Go to Start => Run and type in - or copy/paste - each of the commands listed below, one at a time. Hit Enter after each. Note that there is a single space after regsvr32. regsvr32 wshom.ocx regsvr32 jscript.dll regsvr32 urlmon.dll regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Re: Search Function earl 6/3/2007 6:08:00 PM Thanks Claymore. Still no success after following your instructions. I do think these commands relate since my script writing ability in the browser on my desktop has failed when I attempted to communicate on this forum. I am using my laptop to communicate. My desktop backup harddrive indicated some changes regarding regsvr32. Any added help is appreciated.

Try this: Go to Start => Run and type in "sfc /scannow" {without thed quotes, and with a space before /scannow} You will be asked for your Windows installation CD. This routine will replace any wonky system files. You could also try reinstalling the Search Assistant: Go to Start => Run and type in: %systemroot%\inf {No spaces} Click OK. Locate the file Srchasst.inf Right-click the file, and click on Install. You will be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD in the drive. This will reinstall the Search Assistant.

Re: Search Function earl 6/4/2007 3:22:09 PM I proceeded with directions given. Did not always get results as explained. No search ability so I shut down computer for the day. Today I reactivated computer and the system retsore function worked. It even had one added command of undoing previous restore point. I restored several weeks back. It worked and I had the search function back but in that process I lost the restore ability again. I think I will proceed with your first set of commands again to see if system restore function comes back again and then I would pick an earlier restore date to see if the restore function can be corrected. Do you have any thoughts regarding this. Thanks, Earl "Claymore" wrote: [Quoted Text] > On Jun 3, 2:08 pm, earl <e...[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > Thanks Claymore.

Re: Search Function earl 6/4/2007 5:58:02 PM I performed the Start-Run-sfc /scannow program. Both Search and System Restore are back. I will use today as future restore point and hope that all systems are good. Thanks for your help. It is appreciated.
