Search Box Problem

[JohnW]

When I go from Start to Search the right screen comes up but does not open fully. You see the little dog sitting in a field of blue on the left but there nothing coming up above him to type in you search ? I have Windows XP 2002

Click on Start then on Run. Type (or copy and paste), one at a time, the following commands, clicking OK for each (you'll get a message indicating success after running each command).

regsvr32 wshom.ocx
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll

See if that fixes things.

Thanks Miz It worked out just great. Now if only I could get my Illustrator and Norton back up agn. Do you know anymore nice little tricks like that??

Thanks again John W

I've never used Illustrator but you can try Adobe's support starting on this page to see if there's any help there.

I also don't use Norton. I can't stand its resource hogging and the way it insinuates itself so thoroughly into the operating system it's not only virtually impossible to get it uninistall completely but if it has a problem, it can take the whole system down with it.

Now I'll get off my soapbox and refer you to Norton's support pages starting here. Just plug in the product and version you have, click the Knowledge Base button, type in the problem you're having, click the Search button and see if anything that helps is forthcoming. Good luck!

Another vote for bagging Norton.

Try AVG. It's free, it updates itself and it isn't a resource hog like Norton.
