File required for Search Companion

"Carey Frisch [MVP]" thanks for the reply but I have
already tried the solutions suggested on your web page
but nothing works.

Anybody else have any ideas?

Reinstall the Search Companion Files:

To resolve this problem without obtaining the hotfix or installing Windows XP SP1, follow these 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.

NOTE: You may need your Windows XP CD-ROM to finish installing Search Companion.
This issue may occur again if you have Search Companion open when you connect to your ISP.

I have an OEM computer and I do not believe I have the Windows XP CD.
