Search companion died

[Jim Self]

Hi,

The daughters computer at school is running XP and it's lost its ability
to run searches from Windows Explorer.

Clicking the search button brings up a box on the left that should
contain the search assistant/companion, text boxes, or something, but
it's empty.

Any ideas how to get a search capability again?

I don't have access to the disks the school used to upgrade her from win
98 so they could more easily hook her into the LAN there.

Thanks!

Press Enter
Then type in: regsvr32 /i shell32

Why doesn't Search work?
